1881 Burning Chimney Corpse Cremation Milan Pyre Smoke Structure Temple Crematorium
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to 1881, capturing the solemn beauty of the Crematorium in Milan, Italy. The wood engraving, created by an American artist, showcases the late Italian architecture of this unique structure. Standing tall against the backdrop of a clear sky, it resembles a temple with its intricate details and grandeur. The focal point of this image is undoubtedly the chimney that rises from the crematorium's roof. Its presence reminds us of its purpose - to release smoke from burning pyres within. Though not explicitly shown in this print, we can imagine how this building served as a final resting place for countless souls who chose cremation as their preferred method. The composition exudes a sense of serenity despite its association with death and farewell. The surrounding landscape adds to this tranquility; lush greenery frames the crematorium while providing solace to grieving visitors. Granger Art on Demand has masterfully preserved this historical moment through their meticulous reproduction process. As we gaze upon this print today, let us appreciate both its artistic value and significance in shedding light on past customs and architectural marvels.
