cbetaПродираюсь через восемь сотен итальянских фотографий (и это уже основательно прореженные еще в дороге, потому что ровно столько влезает на карточку). У меня вопрос, может, кто знает. В лукканской церкви св. Фридиана есть объемное изображение успения Богородицы. В целом понятно: сама она лежит, оплакиваема окружающими, а душу серафимы несут в рай, вокруг ангелы, святые - все, как положено. Но вот кто и зачем на заднем плане держит душу Марии на красной веревочке, как улетающий воздушный шарик?
Update. Разобралась! Это она св. Фоме сбрасывает свой пояс:
According to The Passing of Mary, a text attributed to Joseph of Arimathaea,Thomas was the only witness of the Assumption of Mary into heaven. The other apostles were miraculously transported to Jerusalem to witness her death. Thomas was left in India, but after her burial he was transported to her tomb, where he witnessed her bodily assumption into heaven, from which she dropped her girdle. In an inversion of the story of Thomas' doubts, the other apostles are skeptical of Thomas' story until they see the empty tomb and the girdle. Thomas' receipt of the girdle is commonly depicted in medieval and pre-Tridentine Renaissance art.
