Title:
Italia Siena 6 Duomo The Nicola Pisano pulpit
Description:
The Siena Cathedral Pulpit is one of the most outstanding artworks within this fabulous church. It was sculpted by Nicola Pisano and his assistants Arnolfo di Cambio, Lapo di Ricevuto, and Nicolas’ son Giovanni Pisano between the fall of 1265 and the fall of 1268. The pulpit has seven narrative panels and nine decorative columns carved from Carrara marble. It showcases Nicola Pisano’s skill in composing sculpture forms and his able integration of classical themes into Christian traditions. These hallmarks reveal both Nicola Pisano and the Siena pulpit as forerunners of the classical revival of the Italian Renaissance. – PowerPoint PPT presentation

During the Middles Ages when the Duomo was built,
the most powerful towns in Tuscany (and indeed
throughout most of Europe) civic pride was
expressed by the construction of a cathedral, but
Siena's pride seemed to go even further by
incorporating it's municipal colours.
3
Black and white are the colours found on the
civic coat of arms of Siena and are linked to the
black and white horses of the legendary founders
of the city Senius and Aschius who were the sons
of Remus, one of the co-founders of Rome.

This is the earliest remaining work in the
cathedral. Nicola Pisano was given this
commission due to his fame by the Pisa pulpit.
9
This pulpit, resembling the Pisa pulpit but
larger, is even more ambitious and is considered
his masterpiece
10
The whole message of the pulpit is concerned with
the doctrine of Salvation and the Last Judgment
11
Some of the columns rest on lions or lionesses
while the central column is supported by a
sculpture of the seven liberal arts and
philosophy, a subject emphasizing how man can
perceive God through intellectual means in
addition to faith
