Nativity (detail)Nicola Pisano
This Nativity scene (c.1260) from the Pisa Baptistery pulpit reveals Nicola Pisano’s innovative fusion of Roman relief style and Christian iconography. The classical calm of Mary, the crowded narrative, and the reclining posture of figures reflect antique sarcophagi models, bridging ancient form with medieval spirituality in a groundbreaking synthesis.
