Nino Migliori's Medieval Stone Photographs at Galleria Civica di Modena
Photographer Nino Migliori (born 1926 in Bologna) has spent a decade exploring medieval stone sculptures on Modena's Duomo using only candlelight. His exhibition "Lumen. Leoni e metope del Duomo di Modena" at Galleria Civica di Modena (until June 5, 2016) presents these images as emotional states akin to literature rather than visual art. Migliori works in complete darkness, moving a candle to reveal details as Leonardo da Vinci once did to study drapery.
