Pulpit in Sant'Andrea, Pistoia (1301)

COMMENTARY

The central support of the pulpit is raised above eagles; the six outer columns rest on lions, plain figures, and the Atlas figure, symbol of original sin and the force of will. The Prophets and Sibyls in the spandrels and at the corners prefigure Christ, who is witnessed in the topmost order by the Evangelists and Apostles standing between the narrative reliefs of the Life of Christ.

The five narrative reliefs depict the (i) Story of the Birth of Jesus, (ii) Adoration of the Magi, (iii) Massacre of the Innocents, (iv) Crucifixion, and (v) Last Judgment.
