Design for a "Quarantore" Decoration 1540-1609 Federico Zuccaro (Zuccari) Italian This carefully drawn scale model provides a design for a liturgical practice that came to be widely celebrated in the late sixteenth century. As shown here, the Eucharist was placed in a small sepulcher where it remained, and was worshiped, for the same forty hours that Christ's body lay in the tomb prior to the Resurrection. Federico has added another level of significance by alluding to the moment of the Transfiguration, when the apostles saw Christ conversing with the Old Testament prophets Elijah and Moses-seen here in the guise of statues-and the voice of God the Father spoke from a cloud, identifying Christ as his "beloved son." This tableau, particularly the illumination and fictive clouds of the celestial realm, anticipates the elaborate theatrical "machines" that would mark the Devotion of the Forty Hours in the seventeenth century.This detailed presentation drawing offers a design for a temporar
