Katedrala sv. Petra in zmaj – neznana skrivnost | Ženeva, Švica

To je nekaj, česar zagotovo ne počnem pogosto – fotografiranje miniaturnih predmetov namesto panoramskih razgledov ali zajemanje širokokotnih posnetkov. Vendar pa sem takoj, ko sem zagledal to leseno figurico majhnega zmaja, pomislil, da je to zanimiv motiv za fotografijo.

 

Zgodovina katedrale sv. Petra v Ženevi

Tega majhnega zmaja smo videli med obiskom katedrale sv. Petra v Ženevi. Gradnja katedrale se je začela v 12. stoletju. Ta srednjeveška cerkev je znana tudi po tem, da je v njej pridigal vplivni francoski pastor in protestantski reformator – Janez Kalvin. Še en zanimiv podatek s področja umetnosti: leta 1444 je nemški slikar Konrad Witz naslikal tako imenovani oltarni nastavek sv. Petra, ki je danes shranjen v muzeju.

 

Ali obstaja kakšna skrivnost, povezana z zmajem?

Na koncu me je resnično zanimalo, zakaj je v tej srednjeveški cerkvi figurica majhnega zmaja, zato sem si resnično prizadeval izvedeti, zakaj je tam. Verjetno, sem pomislil, ima kakšen simboličen ali skrivni pomen, ki je navadnim ljudem skrit. Vendar nisem našel ničesar in skrivnost je ostala nerazkrivena. Če kdo ve kaj več o tem zmaju, naj to prosim deli tukaj!

  1. Hi Joanne, that’s very interesting, thank you for sharing. It is really intriguing to see a figurine of a small dragon in this medieval church. I wonder what’s the story behind.
