EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "PDC-F-002962-0000" showcases the exquisite 14th-century pulpit created by Giovanni Pisano in the magnificent Duomo of Pisa. The image was captured between 1870 and 1890, allowing us to appreciate this timeless masterpiece from a historical perspective. Giovanni Pisano, an esteemed artist born around 1248, poured his creative genius into crafting this remarkable pulpit between 1302 and 1311. Standing proudly within the sacred walls of Pisa's Cathedral, it serves as a testament to both artistic brilliance and religious devotion. The photograph reveals intricate details of the pulpit's design, highlighting its symbolic representation through various elements. A male figure takes center stage, embodying an allegory or abstract concept that remains open to interpretation. Adjacent to him stands a female figure representing virtue or another profound concept or subject expressed through art. Adding depth and significance to the composition is a majestic lion—a terrestrial mammal symbolizing strength and power—depicted on one panel of the pulpit. This harmonious blend of human figures alongside animal symbolism creates a visual narrative that captivates viewers even today. Beyond showcasing this awe-inspiring artwork itself, the photo also captures architectural elements surrounding it. These building sections serve as decoration while enhancing the overall grandeur of Pisa's Duomo. Although we cannot identify the specific photographer responsible for immortalizing this moment in time, their skillful eye has allowed us to experience Giovanni Pisano's masterwork anew. As we gaze upon this extraordinary print from Alinari—an iconic name in photography—we are transported back centuries ago when artistry flourished within these hallowed cathedral walls.
