Giovanni Pisano
Giovanni Pisano (c.
1250-
1314) was an
Italian sculptor, as was his father
Nicola Pisano. His work shows a mixture of French Gothic and the classical style.
Among his works are:
- Pulpit for the cathedral in Siena (1265-68)
- Sculptures and architectural design for the facade of the cathedral in Siena (c.1285)
- Pulpit for the church of S. Andrea in Pistoia (1301). The five reliefs on the pulpit are the Annunciation and Nativity; the Adoration, Dream of the Magi and Angel warning Joseph; the Massacre of the Innocents; the Crucifixion; and the Last Judgement.
- Pulpit for the Pisa Cathedral (1302-11)
Giorgio Vasari included a biography of Pisano in his
Lives.
