Additional Notes: |
Italian ..... Il pesante passo del cieco, poi la caduta vissuta come un peccato, la cecità come punizione divina per l’allontanamento dalla casa di Dio, la Chiesa sullo sfondo della tela; la fede con note più acute rivolte al cielo come il capo dei viandanti ciechi; lo sforzo umano per continuare il proprio cammino verso la fede. |
