	Giovanni Pisano - LoveToKnow 1911
		Niccola, the younger Pisano was summoned between 1270 and 1274 to Naples, where he worked for Charles of Anjou on the Castel Nuovo.
		In 1290 Giovanni was appointed architect or "capo maestro" of the new cathedral at Siena, in which office he succeeded Lorenzo Maitani, who went to Orvieto to build the less ambitious but equally magnificent duomo which had just been founded there.
		One of Giovanni's most beautiful architectural works was the little chapel of S. Maria della Spina (now rebuilt, "restored"), on the banks of the Arno in Pisa; the actual execution of this chapel, and the sculpture with which it is adorned, was mostly the work of his pupils.

		They were the greatest sculptors of their period and stand at the head of the tradition of Italian sculpture in the same way that Giotto stands at the head of the tradition of Italian painting.
		Giovanni developed this much further in Siena, where from 1284 onwards he designed the façade of the cathedral and carried out much of the sculptural decoration (some of the figures have been transferred to the cathedral museum and a magnificent fragment is in the Victoria and Albert Museum).
		Giovanni also made a number of free-standing statues, the best known of which is the Madonna and Child on the altar of the Arena Chapel in Padua (c.

	COMUNE di PISTOIA
		The Pisano family's involvement with the city of Pistoia began in 1273, when Nicola was commissioned by the Operai di San Jacopo to make the altar dedicated to the patron saint (vs31), and ended in 1301 when Giovanni consigned the finished pulpit to the parish of Sant'Andrea (vs25).
		In those years Giovanni lived in Pisa where he was working both on the sounding of the bell-tower's structure and on the ivory piece to be placed on the cathedral's high altar (of which today only the beautiful Madonna remains).
		This is chronologically the third of the Pisanos' pulpits and the Pistoian piece achieves the greatest results in terms of the harmonious composition of architecture and sculpture.

	History of Art: Gothic Art,Nicola Pisano,Giovanni Pisano
		Giovanni Pisano is first mentioned in the contract for the pulpit of Siena Cathedral in 1265, which awarded him a higher payment (4 soldi) than Nicola’s other assistants Arnolfo and Lapo (6 soldi for both).
		Initially Giovanni’s work was limited to carrying out Nicola’s compositions and following his models, but he soon developed a style of his own, identifiable even in the context of his father’s workshop, and he evidently enjoyed considerable autonomy on the Perugia fountain.
		Especially after Nicola’s death, Giovanni developed an extraordinarily broad range of expression, carving figures that were solemn and contemplative or tormented and violent, often distorted and emaciated to convey emotion.

		This division is not however as organic and logical as in the Siena Crucifix, not to mention the crucifixes by Giovanni Pisano himself.
		I think that it is unnecessary to assume there was a substantial time lag between the works of the master and those, which may be attributed to his disciples or followers, as though medieval sculptors needed decades to grasp the ideas of one of their number.
		The horrific, "Gothic" form of the crucifixi dolorosi, which derived in fact from the work of Giovanni Pisano, paved the way for a new understanding of the human body, for a new dignity for human beings, who may be identical to Christ in their earthly suffering.

	From Lives of the Artists: Pisano - Sidebar - MSN Encarta
		The father and son team of Nicola and Giovanni Pisano revived old influences and brought new influences to Italian sculpture in the 13th and early 14th centuries.
		In the 1250s, Italian sculptor Nicola Pisano revived many of the elements of classical sculpture, carving marble panels with solid, densely packed figures that resembled those sculpted on ancient Roman sarcophagi.
		Nicola passed the classical influence on to his son, Giovanni Pisano, but Giovanni’s work also evinced the French Gothic style, with its elongated, graceful, active lines and forms.

		Giavanni Pisano carried the classicist impression of his father’s style throughout his artistic career but integrated his work with new inspiration and is regarded by some as Italy’s first and only true Gothic sculptor.
		One’s eyes slowly rise from the still-powerful arm and hand to his head, which is held erect by the thickness of his neck, a Hellenistic device of exaggeration to represent the strength of a king.

		The front seems to be what Pisano had to do; the back, which would probably not be seen by anyone, except presumably God, seems to have been a gestural release.

	Biography
		Pisano, name of two 13th- and 14th-century Italian sculptors and architects, father and son, who were the preeminent figures of the 13th-century Italian revival of the classical Roman sculptural style.
		This uniquely Italian assimilation of French Gothic influences can be seen in Nicola and Giovanni's Siena pulpit (1268), Giovanni's sculptures and architectural design for the facade of the Siena Cathedral (circa 1285), and his later pulpit for Pistoia (1301).
		Giovanni's designs were some of the most powerful and expressive in Italian art at the end of the 13th century, and they were a dominant influence on Italian sculptors of the early Renaissance, among them Jacopo della Quercia, Lorenzo Ghiberti, and Donatello.

		It is estimated that Giovanni was born around the year 1248 and died around 1319.
		His sculptural style will be discussed alone, without reference to his father, for it is Giovanni's workmanship which made this one the most important and influential works in the history of art.
