Altar Dossal

The centuries-old tradition of the stonecarvers from the valleys between Lake Como and Lake Lugano, with the activity, extending to all the countries of Europe, of the Maestri Comacini and, as a final offshoot, of the Campionesi, found its most mature expression, on the verge of mannerism, in the dossal of Sant'Eustorgio, in which the narrative skill of the Lombards unfolds in an atmosphere of gripping tension.
