Angel from the Tomb of Archbishop Francesco MoricottiAndrea di Nino

This marble angel (1360s) once adorned the sarcophagus of Archbishop Moricotti in Pisa Cathedral. Closely echoing the style of Nino Pisano’s Scherlatti tomb, the angel’s youthful features and tender gesture suggest mourning. Likely carved by Nino’s son Andrea di Nino, the figure reflects the softer modeling and reduced finesse of the later generation, preserving the elegiac tone of its predecessor.
