Painting Description
The Grand St. Bernard Hospice, often dubbed as Great St Bernard Pass, is a historical site located on the highest road in Switzerland. This emblematic location has for years been a subject of numerous literary artistic works with one of the notable ones being the Costume Antico e Moderno by Giulio Ferrario in 1821.
This renowned artwork is a lithograph curated by the talented Italian artist, Vittorio Raineri. It encapsulates the hospice at the peak of the Alpine pass, illustrating the scenic beauty, peaceful monastic life, and the hospice's integral role as a shelter for travelers crossing the rugged mountains.
Raineri portrays the Grand St. Bernard Hospice as an embodiment of resolution, hope, and survival amidst the alpine challenges. Belonging to Ferrario's larger work, 'Il Costume Antico e Moderno' or 'Ancient and Modern Costume', Raineri's lithography represents the hospice in the context of the cultural, historical, and geographic fabric of Switzerland. The 'Costume Antico e Moderno' is a cornerstone in the ethnographic literature that extensively studies the geography, history, ethnography, mythology, and customs of various cultures worldwide.
This specific piece from 1821 provides an in-depth cultural and territorial representation of the alpine haven, shedding light on its rich heritage and prominence in Switzerland's history. The artwork stands as a significant testament to Raineri's interpretive style and Ferrario's extensive cultural anthology. Nonetheless, the Grand St. Bernard Hospice still exists and functions as a symbol of refuge, offering travellers a safe haven, similar to the scenario depicted in Raineri's illustration almost two centuries ago.
