Description:
|
Around 1320, Tino di Camaino carved three groups to be placed above the east, south and north doors of the Baptistery (dedicated to St. John the Baptist) in Florence. Three centuries later these sculptures were substituted with other groups representing the same subjects. This fragment is the only surviving piece from the group which was originally above the north door. (Source: Web Gallery of Art; http://www.wga.hu/in dex.html)
