Les photos en noir et blanc de Chamlee sur du papier épais et crémeux prennent une similitude agréablement méditative alors que les pages roulent pour enregistrer les sanctuaires « petite Madonna » de la Toscane. Les icônes, fabriquées à la fois par des artistes folkloriques et des sculpteurs qualifiés, varient considérablement dans leurs détails et leurs paramètres, à la campagne et dans les villes et villages. Chamlee a voyagé à travers la région en 2000 et 2001 et a été attiré par l'omniprésence et la beauté des icônes ainsi que par l'esprit de dévotion qu'elles expriment. Les images sont introduites par un essai sur l'histoire et les traditions des sanctuaires de la Vierge en Italie par l'érudit italien Giuliana Bianchi Caleri. Grande taille : 23,5 x 26 cm.

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. While photographing throughout Tuscany in 2000 and 2001, Paula Chamlee found herself drawn to the great beauty, variety, and extraordinary craftsmanship of the Madonnina' shrines that can be found everywhere in Tuscany. Throughout the countryside and in towns and villages, these lovingly crafted personal shrines to the Virgin Mary bear witness to a deep-seated and popular faith in the Holy Virgin and the humanity she embodies. With a tradition dating back to antiquity, these cultural and religious objects continue to be created even today as protection for personal property, homes and their inhabitants. Whether sophisticated or primitive in design, the shrines represent a spirit of devotion expressed quietly and simply. Although they can easily be overlooked by the casual traveller, these small shrines are readily found along roadsides, among fields, at intersections and property lines, set in the walls of houses and barns, and even in the woods as well as other unusual locations. Chamlee discovered one in the midst of a marble quarry beside a busy pathway cleared for giant marble-moving machines.Paula Chamlee's sensitive portrayal of Le Madonnine in their variety and beauty are complemented by an informative essay by the Italian scholar Giuliana Bianchi Caleri, who writes about the history and tradition of the Madonna shrines in Italy.
