Descrizione
The Redeemer Christ of Maratea does not merely dominate a landscape. It inhabits an inner space.
In this essay, Biagio Limongi approaches Bruno Innocenti‘s most impressive work as one would approach a silent enigma, without reducing it to a symbol or devotional icon.
Through a critical and narrative account, the book traces the genesis of the Christ of Maratea, placing it in dialogue with the sculptor’s previous works, in particular with the figure of the Angel, a recurring and central theme in his poetic universe. What emerges is a young Christ, timeless, distant from any naturalism, conceived as the incarnate form of redeemed humanity.
The reflection draws on theological, iconographic, and philosophical references, from Plotinus to Teilhard de Chardin, from Augustine of Hippo to Hans Urs von Balthasar, without ever turning the essay into a theoretical exercise. Each reference serves to illuminate the form, not to overshadow it.
Bruno Innocenti’s Christ the Redeemer is a book that does not explain the sacred. It takes it seriously.
For those who love art when it ceases to represent and begins to embody.
