This picture was took by a Photographer call Luca Macinelli, I discovered it in my favourite page www.deviantart.com, once when I was looking for some dark and gothic scenerys.
And I fell in love with it, is so expressive and sublime, it is a perfect scenery. It has everything of a dramatic place. So lyric, mystic, mysterious, angelic, It seems to me to been watching a sacred scene, obviously because it is a picture from the exterior struture of a Cathedral in Milán. But I think this picture in a special way, reflects what is the superior objective of the Gothic Style in the medieval age. The stylized figures, statues, towers and details are projected to the sky, heaven, gods worlds, and if you find the rythm through the position of the whole figures and elements which configure this whole structure maybe you can imagine the sounds of angels, and holy creatures, gods, etc. It can give you a musical image.
That is my perception of the objective of Gothic style, create music from figures, gods music, this cathedrals were created to establish a comunication with god, but it is not the romanic comunication, when the churches were almost a military fortification and god was a dictator, now god is a lyric and evanescent entity, which appears to terrenal people through this elongated forms and figures, where the light and shadows are expressions of the sacred.
Only watching the picture you can feel an energetic thing, from the past, this cathedrals has many remembers, tails, ghosts, they are full of and spiritual perception. You can feel, nostalgic, sadness, lonelyness, protected......
When I saw this picture I remember and hear too, the Requiem of Mozart, specially the Lacrimosa of this piece of music, maybe you can do the exercise of seeing this photography at the same time you listen the lacrimosa, and, I don't know, you may feel something special, alegoric, mysthic, only if you wanted to offcourse. It's very beautiful really.
There isn't more words to explain the picture, you must to see it and think it.
