Description:
|
|
Pisa Baptistery (1153-1363) is a transition from the Romanesque to the Gothic style: the lower section is in the Romanesque style. The portal, by unknown sculptor(s) is flanked by two classical columns, while the inner jambs are executed in Byzantine style. The left side depicts the Labors of the Months while the right side portrays the Apostles (in pairs), the Harrowing of Hell, and King David. The lintel is divided in two tiers. The lower one depicts several episodes in the life of St. John the Baptist, while the upper one shows Christ between the Madonna and St. John the Baptist, flanked by angels and the evangelists. On the archivolt, the 24 Elders of the Apocalypse flank the Lamb of God. The lunette contains a copy of Giovanni Pisano's Madonna, the original of which is in the Museo dell'Opera.
