Affreschi della Cappella di Santa Maria delle Vigne - Mondovì
La Cappella di Santa Maria delle Vigne è una delle Cappelle Gotiche di Mondovì, visitabili durante l'iniziativa “Alla scoperta della Mondovì Gotica”, organizzata dall’Associazione Monregaltour. Le Cappelle Gotiche di Mondovì sono piccoli oratori campestri al cui interno conservano cicli pittorici risalenti al '400, in stile gotico monregalese.
La Cappella di Santa Maria delle Vigne è situata in località Carassone, in posizione panoramica ai piedi della collina di Mondovì Piazza.
La parte più antica dell'edificio (corpo centrale e abside) risalgono al X secolo, mentre la facciata è del 1900.
Gli affreschi della Cappella di Santa Maria delle Vigne risalgono alla prima metà del XIV secolo e presentano caratteristiche duecentesche d'ispirazione bizantina. Sono stati attribuiti a Giovanni Mazzucco.
Nella parete dell'abside sopra lo zoccolo drappeggiato sono dipinti San Paolo e San Giovanni Battista con alcuni Apostoli che recano in mano un libro e si contraddistinguono per il simbolo iconografico o direttamente per l'iscrizione del loro nome.
Sopra, nel catino, si staglia sullo sfondo blu stellato la grande figura del Cristo Pantocratore, seduto sul trono e circondato dai simboli dei quattro evangelisti. Tiene in grembo un libro aperto ed è raffigurato nell'atto di benedire.
Sopra la porta della sacrestia c'è, invece, l'immagine Madonna col Bambino trattenuto con fare protettivo sulle sue ginocchia.
Sulla parete laterale destra si può ammirare, infine, l'affresco della Natività.
