Artist Painting a "Trasparente"

The "Trasparenti" are translucent paintings on canvas, mounted within wooden frames and illuminated from within, casting a soft, evocative glow.
Created using a specialized technique dating back to the eighteenth century, they are a defining element of the Holy Week Processions of Mendrisio. More than decorative objects, they embody a living heritage, where artistic skill and ritual practice come together to bring images to life through light.
