Il Volto ritrovato. I tratti inconfondibili di Cristo
Nella tradizione iconografica occidentale il Volto di Cristo, dopo i primi due secoli di cristianesimo e fino al Rinascimento, è sempre rappresentato con tratti ben riconoscibili, cosa che invece non è accaduta ad esempio per la Vergine. Questo fatto sembra avere un nesso con le cosiddette "acheropite", cioè le immagini del Volto di Cristo che la tradizione tramanda come non dipinte da mano umana. Immagini in cui Gesù stesso avrebbe consegnato agli uomini le fattezze del suo Volto: in Oriente il mandylion, un panno sul quale Egli avrebbe impresso la sua immagine rispondendo al desiderio di Abgar re di Edessa; in Occidente il velo con cui Veronica avrebbe asciugato il volto di Gesù sulla via del Calvario. Fonti letterarie e storiche ricordano un altro ritratto su stoffa, più antico di questi, che riceve il nome dalla città della Cappadocia in cui apparve: Kamoulianai, Camulia. La tradizione che circonda queste tre immagini coincide in modo sorprendente con quella che avvolge il Volto di Manoppello (Pescara), anch'esso su velo e realizzato con una tecnica esecutiva che, nonostante le indagini che di recente sono state tentate, non è stata ancora scientificamente spiegata. Il volume (catalogo di una mostra del Meeting di Rimini 2013) illustra la vicenda di queste quattro immagini, del loro misterioso apparire e scomparire nel tempo e della fortuna che ebbero nel corso dei secoli.

I ordered several wooden boards to paint icons. Upon delivery, half of them showed scratches on the surface to be painted or saw marks on the side. The wooden boards are made without the care necessary for the production of works of art. Dal Molin has not had any hearing for my request for replacement of the unusable art supply nor for a refund saying that "these details have no importance". I do not recommend this business.

A company that is worth a visit for the wonderful and wide range of basic materials from shaped wooden boards, chalked, tools and colors: everything you need to create icons or pyrographic works. They have wonderful painted icons, books and also organize courses on the subject. Courteous, competent staff, generous with information and suggestions. Worth a visit.
