EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the exquisite beauty of Giovanni Pisano's pulpit in the Church of Saint Andrew in Pistoia. The pulpit, a masterpiece of Gothic art from the Middle Ages, stands as a testament to Europe's rich cultural heritage. Dating back to around 1298-1301, this remarkable artwork was created by the renowned Italian sculptor Giovanni Pisano. Known for his exceptional skill and attention to detail, Pisano crafted an intricately designed pulpit that showcases his mastery over stone carving. The photograph itself was taken around 1890 by Brogi from Alinari, offering us a glimpse into both the past and present. It allows us to appreciate not only the craftsmanship of Pisano but also how this magnificent piece has endured through time. Intriguing elements can be observed within this image - an eagle perched atop one side of the pulpit symbolizing strength and wisdom; birds fluttering nearby representing freedom; a majestic lion embodying power; prophets and evangelists depicted as people with angelic figures dressed in medieval attire. These diverse motifs reflect various aspects of mythology, biblical stories from both Old and New Testaments, as well as Greco-Roman influences. As we admire this stunning print, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the grandeur of Gothic architecture during its heyday. This work serves as a reminder that art transcends generations and continues to inspire awe even centuries after its creation.
