Saint Christopher porte un lourd fardeau, l'enfant Christ lesté avec les péchés de l'humanité, comme il se dirige à travers une rivière dangereuse, dans une fresque dans le cloître médiéval de la cathédrale de Santa Maria Assunta à Bressanone-Brixen, Tyrol du Sud, Trentin-Haut-Adige, Italie. Les fresques du cloître sont soit de style gothique tardif, soit de l'15th artiste du siècle Lienhart Scherhauff, également connu sous le nom de Leonardo da Bressanone, et de ses élèves.

Bressanone-Brixen, South Tyrol, Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy: Saint Christopher bears a weighty burden on his shoulders - the Christ Child carrying the sins of mankind - as he wades to safety across a dangerous river in this fresco painted in the medieval cloister beside the Duomo di Santa Maria Assunta or Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Assumption. This artwork is amongst numerous late-14th and early-15th century frescoes on the walls and ribbed ceiling vaults. The original cloister was rebuilt after a fire in 1174, but its first Late Gothic frescoes were painted around 1390 by a group of artists active throughout this mainly German-speaking region, including some from the nearby town of Brunico or Brunech. Later frescoes here are believed to be either the sole work of 15th century painter and sculptor Lienhart Scherhauff (also known as Leonhard von Brixen or Leonardo da Bressanone), or are by his studio, which produced fresco cycles for churches throughout South and East Tyrol. Lienhart and his artists, with their delicate style, are credited with transforming the often harsh and crude nature of the region’s Christian art. The spa city of Bressanone / Brixen was founded in 901 AD, becoming the seat of powerful Prince Bishops whose influence forged links between southern Germany and northern Italy. South Tyrol became part of Italy after the 1914-18 First World War. D0731.A8741
