Description
Pilasters of Angels Sounding Trumpets
Workshop of Giovanni Pisano (Italian, 1240–before 1320). Pilaster of Angels Sounding Trumpets from the Parapet of a Pulpit, 1302–10. Marble, traces of paint.The trumpet-blowing angels, with puffed out cheeks and furrowed brows, herald the dramatic moment of the Last Judgment. Their hunched shoulders, attenuated bodies, and dynamic wings capture the graceful power of these celestial messengers. The angels once flanked a relief of Christ as Judge. The central pilaster is composed of a compact group with symbols of the Evangelists: the angel of Matthew at center; the ox of Luke at his left; and the lion of Mark on the right. This pilaster supported an eagle lectern (similar to the adjacent one on view in this gallery) for the reading of the Gospels. These elements were originally part of the elaborate pulpit of Pisa Cathedral, where they were seen well above eye level.
