CrucifixionNicola Pisano

This panel from the pulpit of the Baptistery of San Giovanni (c. 1260) depicts the Crucifixion with intense emotion and narrative density. Nicola Pisano masterfully blends Classical form with Gothic expressiveness, capturing grief, chaos, and reverence. His work marked a turning point in Italian sculpture, reviving antique naturalism within a Christian context.
