Description:
|
|
As part of the construction of the new museum, Gizdulich was asked to make a scale model of the original Medieval facade, which had been dismantled in 1587. This model, in wood, was then the guide to recreating the lower facade in full scale (using resin and plaster instead of wood) for the Great Hall of the museum. This allows for the placement of over 40 of the original statues, and 60 architectural fragments in their original context, to the extent that is known. The basis for this work was a drawing by Bernardino Poccetti, 1587, before the destruction. (Source: Verdon, Timothy; The New Museo dell' Opera del Duomo, I Tatti Studies in the Italian Renaissance, Vol. 18, No. 2)
