Pulpit by Giovanni Pisano, 1301
Sant'Andrea
Via Sant'Andrea
Pistoia, May 2022
“The pulpit in the pieve of Sant'Andrea, Pistoia, Italy is a masterpiece by the Italian sculptor Giovanni Pisano. The work is often compared to the pulpits sculpted by Giovanni's father Nicola Pisano in the Baptistery of Pisa and the Duomo of Siena, which Giovanni had assisted with. These very advanced works are often described in terms such as ‘proto-Renaissance’, and draw on Ancient Roman sarcophagi and other influences to form a style that represents an early revival of classical sculpture, while also remaining Gothic, and drawing on sources such as French ivory carvings.” (Pulpit of Sant' Andrea, Wikipedia)
