The Prophet Malachi (prophet 4)1308-11Tempera on wood, 43 x 16 cm Museo dell'Opera del Duomo, Siena | |
The prophet is Malachi, whose figure in Carli's opinion is reminiscent of the Plato by Giovanni Pisano on the Cathedral façade, and who announces the theme of salvation: "Veniet ad templum sanctum suum dominator dominus quem vos queritis, et angelum testamenti quem vos vultis" (Malachi 3, 1: The Lord whom you desire will enter his holy temple, and the messenger of the convenat whom you yearn for). |
