Summary
| Description |
English: Art historian Dr. Bernd Schälicke views the bronze pine cone in the narthex of the
cathedral at
Aachen. This bronze sculpture may have been brought to Aachen from Italy at the time of
Charlemagne, or it may have been cast in Germany as late as ca. 1000. It was inspired by the pine cone that once stood in the courtyard of
Old St. Peter's Basilica and is now in the
Cortile della pigna of the
Vatican Museums.
Deutsch: Kunsthistoriker
Dr. Bernd Schälicke betrachtet den Bronzepinienzapfen im Eingangsbereich des
Aachener Domes. Möglicherweise kam das Bronzebildwerk zur Zeit
Karls des Großen aus Italien nach Aachen, es kann aber auch in Deutschland bis 1000 gegossen worden sein. Vorbild war wohl der Pinienzapfen im Hof des
Alten St. Peter, der nunmehr in der
Cortile della pigna der
Vatikanischen Museen steht. |
