Campania Salerno Teggiano S. Maria Maggiore, Cathedral. Hutzel, Max 1960-1990 This church was rebuilt after an earthquake in 1857, but kept elements of its 1274 construction and later additions; the two portals date to 1279 and 1509. Interior views focus on architectural sculpture and sculpture: a polychrome crucifix, a marble ambo with symbols of the Evangelists (1721); a holy water font (14th century); wooden states of angels; choirstalls (15th century); tomb monuments of Enrico Sanseverino (1336), the Malavolti (1479) and Eustachio de Eustachiis (1472); tomb slabs; capitals; a white barrel-vaulted ceiling with frescoes and stucco decoration. Negatives show another tomb, perhaps that of the Schifani. Also, a view of a 16th-century altarpiece and a painting in the sacristy of St. Michael or St. George and the Dragon. Antiquities: Immured spolia and the base of the holy water font. Object Notes: Hutzel photo campaign date: 12/29/82 General Notes: Some altar paintings and choirstalls that Hutzel discusses in his notes of the Cathedral are actually found in S. Francesco in Teggiano. German-born photographer and scholar Max Hutzel (1911-1988) photographed in Italy from the early 1960s until his death. The result of this project, referred to by Hutzel as Foto Arte Minore, is thorough documentation of art historical development in Italy up to the 18th century, including objects of the Etruscans and the Romans, as well as early Medieval, Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque monuments. Images are organized by geographic region in Italy, then by province, city, site complex and monument.
