Bressanone-Brixen, South Tyrol, Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy: Mary Magdalene, female disciple of Jesus, finds his tomb empty and then mistakes the resurrected Christ, holding a spade, for a gardener: fresco amid the late 14th and early 15th century Biblical frescoes on the ribbed ceiling vaults of the medieval cloister beside the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta. The original cloister at Bressanone / Brixen was rebuilt in Romanesque style after a fire in 1174. The earliest frescoes here, in Late Gothic style, were painted around 1390 by a group of artists active throughout this mainly German-speaking region. Later Renaissance frescoes in the cloister are judged to be either solo work by 15th century painter and sculptor Lienhart Scherhauff (also known as Leonhard von Brixen or Leonardo da Bressanone), or are by his studio, which produced fresco cycles for churches throughout South and East Tyrol. Lienhart and his artists, with their delicate style, transformed the often harsh and crude nature of earlier Tyrolean Christian art, most obviously in the softer and more lifelike faces of Biblical characters such as these. Some works here also feature proof of Leonhard’s own hand: the scorpion signature emblem he used that prompted his title of Maestro dello Scorpione (Master of the Scorpion). The spa city of Bressanone-Brixen was founded in 901 AD, becoming the seat of powerful Prince Bishops whose influence forged links between southern Germany and northern Italy. South Tyrol became part of Italy after the 1914-18 First World War. D0743.A8892
