Nino carried out his first works in the Cathedral Works of Florence under his father Andrea’s influence, beginning 1334. Nino eventually created eleven sculptures for the Campanile. In 1337 when Andrea was Master of the Cathedral Works, Nino created the four life-size statues of King David, the Eritraean and Tiburtine Sibyls, and this work, an unnamed Prophet (now in the Duomo museum).
