PISANO, Nicola
(active 1258-1278)

Pulpit: Fidelity

1260
Marble, height 58 cm
Baptistery, Pisa

This allegorical figure carries a dog, his symbol, and it is part of the pulpit in the baptistery in Pisa. The massive grave figure reflects a Gothic style which will be replaced by the more intimate and lyrical style of Nicola's son, Giovanni Pisano.
