EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a mesmerizing detail of Giovanni Pisano's pulpit, located in the church of Sant'Andrea in Pistoia. The image focuses on the lower left corner, where an intricate scene from the Last Judgment unfolds. Dating back to 1297-1301, this masterpiece by Giovanni Pisano showcases his exceptional talent during the Gothic period. In this particular section, we witness a profound allegory filled with pain and joy. The devil lurks menacingly while various individuals await their fate. Dressed in elaborate costumes that reflect the fashion and clothing of the Middle Ages, bishops and clergy stand alongside nobility and commoners alike. This diverse group represents different aspects of society facing judgment. The theological subject matter is beautifully expressed through both physiological and psychological aspects. Each person's portrait conveys their individuality as well as their anticipation for divine judgment. As viewers, we are reminded of biblical teachings found in the New Testament about Jesus Christ and His role as judge. The artistic composition skillfully captures every intricate detail carved into stone by Giovanni Pisano's skilled hands over seven centuries ago. The high relief technique adds depth to each figure, enhancing their presence within this ancient artwork. This remarkable photograph was taken around 1890 by Brogi from Alinari, showcasing not only its historical significance but also highlighting how art can transcend time periods. It serves as a testament to Europe's rich cultural heritage throughout the first and second millenniums AD.
