Description:
|
|
The baptistery's pulpit bears the signature NICOLA PISANUS and the date 1260 and is his first recorded work. The work constitutes the most accomplished synthesis of French Gothic and Classical elements and incorporates a program of great complexity, using concepts derived from the sermon Civitas Dei, Domus Dei of Federico Visconti, Archbishop of Pisa (reigned 1254-1277), the patron of the pulpit. The pulpit has a complex architecture as well with a variety of triangular, pentagonal, hexagonal, and octagonal forms. Nicola studied classical art including the Roman sarcophagi and Greek vase now in the Camposanto. Vasari credits this work as the beginning of the Renaissance for this reason.

Image Description:

The Magi are depicted as the Three Ages of Man. The massive Madonna is derived from the Phaedra on a sarcophagus in the Camposanto. Her weighty form and Graeco-Roman head-dress as well as her heavy lips and chin are repeated throughout the pulpit with an Aristotelean unity of character.
