Dettaglio dell'orologio astronomico

Dettaglio dell'orologio astronomico
L’Orologio astronomico, un capolavoro del Rinascimento, nasce da una collaborazione fra artisti, matematici e tecnici: orologiai svizzeri, scultori, pittori e ingegneri, tutti hanno contribuito a quest’opera. L’attuale meccanismo risale al 1842.

L’Orologio attira soprattutto per il gioco dei meccanismi che, ogni giorno, a mezzo giorno e mezzo, si mettono in moto contemporaneamente. E’ questo il momento in cui si possono vedere le diverse età della vita, che, rappresentate da un elefante, un adolescente, un adulto e un vecchio, sfilano davanti alla morte. Più in alto invece gli apostoli, il cui passaggio è segnato dal canto e dal battito d’ali di un grande gallo, sfilano davanti a Gesù. Davanti all’orologio si erge la meravigliosa “Colonna degli angeli”, una rappresentazione molto originale dell’Ultimo Giudizio.

The Astronomical Clock, a Renaissance masterpiece, was the result of a collaboration between artists, mathematicians and technicians: Swiss watchmakers, sculptors, painters and engineers all contributed to this work. The current mechanism dates back to 1842.

The Clock is particularly attractive because of the play of mechanisms that are set in motion at the same time every day. This is the moment when one can see the different ages of life, which, represented by an elephant, an adolescent, an adult and an old man, parade before death. Higher up, on the other hand, the apostles, whose passage is marked by the crowing and flapping of wings of a large rooster, parade before Jesus. In front of the clock stands the beautiful "Angel Column", a highly original representation of the Last Judgement.
