EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Pulpit from the south side of the nave, a masterpiece created by Donatello in 1460. Located in San Lorenzo, Florence, Italy, this bronze sculpture is a testament to the skill and artistry of its creator. Although Donatello did not complete it himself, his pupils Bertoldo and Bartolomeo Bellano finished this remarkable piece. The scenes depicted on this pulpit transport viewers back to biblical times with their portrayal of the Maries at the Sepulchre. Each detail is meticulously crafted, capturing both emotion and religious significance. This Italian Renaissance sculpture beautifully captures moments such as Christ's martyrdom in Limbo, Pentecost, mocking of Christ, resurrection, St. Luke writing his gospel while being guided by an angel (aux limbes), St. Lawrence holding a gridiron symbolizing his martyrdom for refusing to renounce Christianity. The craftsmanship evident in every inch of this artwork highlights its importance within medieval period furniture and metalwork during the Quattrocento era. The intricate relief panels tell stories that resonate with those who appreciate religious art from the 15th century. As we gaze upon this photograph taken by Bridgeman Images' talented photographer, we are transported through time to witness a significant moment in history where religion played a central role in society's narrative. It serves as a reminder of how art can transcend centuries and continue to captivate audiences with its beauty and profound meaning even today
