Description:
|
Alberto Arnoldi was a member of Andrea Pisano's workshop. He carved the north side lozenges which depict the Seven Sacraments, which are represented realistically. The sacraments are Baptism, Confession, Matrimony, Holy Order, Confirmation, the Eucharist, and the Extreme Unction. The designs have been attributed to the painter Maso di Banco, a pupil of Giotto. The west side has the Planets, of which Venus and Mercury are attributed to Nino Pisano. South side features the three Theological and four Cardinal Virtues (Faith, Charity, Hope, Prudence, Justice, Temperance, Fortitude). East side has the seven "Liberal Arts" (Astronomy, Music, Geometry, Grammar, Rhetoric, Logic, and Arithmetic). (Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page)
