Descrizione

The church and the sacristy of Santa Maria presso San Satiro offer a wide range of ornamental elements of great interest, especially the pilaster capitals, the result of a complex process of design and interpretation by the artists involved in their preparation using a series of ancient models. Many of the decorative and figurative subjects present here were very wide-spread in Lombardy, but what is their ultimate origin from an archaeological point of view? In other words, what antique objects influenced their creation? This contribution aims particularly at identifying some of the possible ancient sources for the decoration put in place in the Milanese church through the testimony offered by both Renaissance drawings and surviving ancient artefacts. Although difficult, this investigation allows us to begin to consider, in parallel, the different ways of interpreting the Antique exemplified by the church and the sacristy; the former is clearly characterized by sources of Lombard derivation, the latter by a more scrupulous and philological translation of particular antique models. A comparison of these two approaches provides important clues emerge for understanding how the various aspects of antiquarian culture were assimilated and used by Bramante.
