Nativity and Lamentation ReliefsNiccolò di Giovanni
These marble reliefs on the façade of Lucca Cathedral (c. 1233) depict key episodes from Christ’s life. Below, the Nativity scene includes shepherds and Magi gathered in reverence. Above, the Lamentation captures mourning over the dead Christ. The rich detail and emotional expression reflect the emerging Gothic style in Tuscan sculpture.
