Duomo S.Maria Maddalena

Desenzano Cathedral, dedicated to St. Mary Magdalene, houses several fine works of art. Particularly striking is the work “The Resurrection of Christ” by Venetian painter Andrea Celesti, which towers above the main door, complemented to the left and right of the same entrance by two additional oil paintings. To fully illuminate the particularly impressive triptych, the choice fell on the Optus WallWasher projector, perfect for emphasizing large portions of the wall from very close distances. Along the nave, in the spaces between the arches and the cornice, Celesti painted sixteen canvases depicting the apostles and symbols of the evangelists. To illuminate them, dedicated spotlights with 15° optics. Also dedicated is the lighting of the works placed above the entrance doors to the Sacristy, such as the altarpiece depicting St. Michael the Archangel with the flaming sword in the act of driving Lucifer and the rebellious angels out of hell, a work executed in 1595 by painter Andrea Bertanza. The altarpieces seem to shine with their own light thanks to the shaped beam of the Navata_ Pound Shaper projectors, and they emerge strongly from the context. Finally, to emphasize the splendid altarpiece by Gianbettino Cignaroli depicting St. Angela Merici, St. Anthony of Padua and St. Luigi Gonzaga, the Cell WallWasher luminaire was used in the free-standing version.
