EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intricate details of the "Panel of the pulpit by Giovanni Pisano with the reprobates" in all its glory. Located within the magnificent Cathedral of Pisa, this high relief Gothic artwork is a testament to the artistic brilliance of Giovanni Pisano. Dating back to 1302-1310, this masterpiece showcases Pisano's exceptional craftsmanship and his ability to convey complex theological subjects through art. The panel depicts a scene from hell, featuring devilish figures representing reprobates. Their contorted bodies and agonized expressions symbolize pain and torment, evoking a sense of fear and awe. The composition itself is an allegory that delves into abstract concepts such as sin, punishment, and redemption. Through his meticulous attention to detail, Pisano brings these ideas to life on stone - each figure meticulously carved with precision. This photograph taken around 1920-1930 by Brogi beautifully captures every nuance of Pisano's work. The play between light and shadow enhances the depth and three-dimensionality of the relief while emphasizing its gothic aesthetic. Beyond its artistic value, this panel also serves as an important historical artifact from Europe's Middle Ages. It reflects both physiological aspects (depicting nude human bodies) as well as psychological ones (expressing individual emotions). Moreover, it draws inspiration from biblical narratives found in the New Testament. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported back in time - appreciating not only Giovanni Pisano's genius but also marveling at how art can transcend centuries while still resonating with viewers today.
