EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of "Crucifixion from the Pulpit" by Nicola Pisano, located in Pisa's Baptistery. Taken around 1890, it provides a glimpse into this remarkable artwork that dates back to 1260. The high relief sculpture, created by Arnolfo di Cambio, Giovanni Pisano, and Nicola Pisano himself, showcases an array of emotions and symbolism. In this image, we witness desperation and allegory beautifully intertwined. The abstract concept is brought to life through the figures' expressions - their faces contorted with grief as they mourn the crucifixion of Christ. The composition is rich in detail; every element has been carefully crafted to convey its own significance. From the Virgin Mary's tear-streaked face to the angel hovering above her head, each figure plays a vital role in telling this biblical story. Even their clothing reflects fashion trends of the Middle Ages. Notably, both male and female bodies are depicted with great attention to anatomical accuracy - a testament to the skill of these master sculptors. Saints such as Lazarus' sister Mary Magdalen stand alongside Jesus on his journey towards salvation. The use of high relief adds depth and dimensionality to this masterpiece. It allows viewers to immerse themselves fully in its narrative while emphasizing important aspects like Christ's loincloth or even skeletal elements symbolizing mortality. As we gaze upon this photograph captured by Brogi from Alinari studios over a century ago, we are transported back in time - witnessing firsthand how art can transcend centuries and continue inspiring awe today.
