	Nicola Pisano
		Nicola Pisano was not only pre-eminent as a sculptor, but was also the greatest Italian architect of his century; he designed a number of very important buildings, though not all which are attributed to him by Giorgio Vasari.
		Nicola was also a skilled engineer, and was compelled by the Florentines to destroy the great tower, called the Guardamorto, which overshadowed the baptistery at Florence, and had for long been the scene of violent conflicts between the Guelphs and Ghibellines.
		Both Nicola and his son had many pupils of great artistic power, and these carried the influence of the Pisani throughout Tuscany and northern Italy, so that the whole art of the succeeding generations may be said to have owed the greater part of its rapid development to this one family.

	Anita F. Moskowitz: Nicola Pisano's Arca di San Domenico and Its Legacy
		The tomb was designed by Nicola Pisano in 1264 and built in San Domenico, Bologna, in 1267.
		Her examination of the concrete manifestations of the tomb's generative power serves to underline further the inventiveness of the design, the purposefulness of the iconography, and the importance of the influence of Nicola Pisano's Arca di San Domenico.
		Anita Fiderer Moskowitz is Professor of Art at the State University of New York, Stony Brook, and author of Italian Gothic Sculpture (Cambridge, forthcoming) and The Sculpture of Andrea and Nino Pisano (Cambridge, 1986).

	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.
		Nicola, the father, is thought to have been trained in the Italian workshops of the Holy Roman emperor Frederick II, who encouraged a Roman revival.
		Nicola's carved reliefs for the pulpit of the Pisa Baptistery were derived from figures on Roman sarcophagi in the Camposanto of Pisa: A nude Hercules was rendered into a personification of Christian fortitude ; a Phaedra became the Virgin Mary.

	Pulpit by PISANO, Nicola
		Presumably due to the success and fame of the Pisa pulpit, Nicola was commissioned in 1265 to sculpt another in Carrara marble for the Duomo of Siena.
		Nicola must have been aware of these limitations and planned his pulpit accordingly.
		Nicola was exposed to French Gothic ideas partly from contact with French ivories.

	Pulpit by PISANO, Nicola (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		It is Nicola Pisano, one of the sculptors/architects, whom Vasari in his Vite (Lives) credits with initiating the first of three stages of Renaissance sculpture.
		Nicola's pulpit is indeed revolutionary: since it is freestanding it acts more like arehitectonic sculpture than a mere piece of liturgical furniture.
		Nicola carved prophets and the Evangelists in the spandrels and six nearly freestanding figures (five virtues and St John the Baptist, relating to the site) between the reliefs.

		Nicola and Giovanni Pisano, Italian sculptors and architects, father and son.
		Several of the figures were directly inspired by ancient sarcophagi that Nicola saw in the Campo Santo in Pisa, but they are much more than simple borrowings, for he made them the vehicle for expressing richly varied human feeling.
		Nicola followed the Pisa pulpit with a similar but more complex work for Siena Cathedral (1265-68).

		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).
		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.
		His motifs were inspired variously by Nicola’s severe and solemn classicism, by the agitated, dramatic sculpture of the Hellenistic and Roman traditions, and by French and German Gothic art.

	Nicola Pisano,Giovanni Pisano
		La modernità di Nicola Pisano appare con maggiore evidenza nel successivo pulpito che realizzò per il duomo di Siena tra il 1265 e 1268, in cui alla chiarezza narrativa del pulpito pisano si sostituisce una più commossa partecipazione emotiva e una drammatizzazione del fatto sacro, tratti intrinseci al naturalismo gotico.
		Nicola si era infatti costituito una florida bottega con la quale fu impegnato in opere di notevole importanza tra cui le più rilevanti sono l'arca di San Domenico per la chiesa dei domenicani di Bologna e la fontana maggiore di Perugia.
		Giovanni Pisano rimase a lungo a operare nell'ambito della bottega paterna, e non è facile identificare la sua mano nelle opere di collaborazione con il padre.

	Giovanni Pisano
		Italian architect and sculptor, the son of Nicola Pisano.
		After he had spent the first part of his life at home as a pupil and fellow worker of Nicola, the younger Pisano was summoned between 1270 and 1274 to Naples, where he worked for Charles of Anjou on the Castel Nuovo.
		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.

	Italian Renaissance Art
		Nicola probably came from southern Italy, but his most important work was done in Tuscany, where he worked as both sculptor and architect.
		While Nicola combined Gothic and classical elements, his son Giovanni represents part of a reaction against classical tendencies, a reaction that can be observed also in literature and that was contemporaneous with the predominance of the International Gothic style in painting.
		Andrea Pisano (c.1290 1348-49) unrelated to Giovanni and Nicola is best known for his work in Florence, which includes the bronze reliefs on the South Doors of the Baptistery.

	La Scultura Italiana - Nicola Pisano
		La scultura italiana del periodo gotico discende pressoché tutta da tre grandissimi artisti: Nicola Pisano, Arnolfo di Cambio e Giovanni Pisano.
		Dal 1265 al 1268 Nicola eseguì un secondo pulpito per il Duomo di Siena, dove dimostra maggiore scioltezza e penetrazione psicologica, che indicano un progressivo orientamento verso l'arte gotica.
		In collaborazione con il figlio Giovanni eseguì la Fontana di Piazza di Perugia (terminata nel 1278) con due vasche poligonali l'una dentro l'altra, sormontate da una coppa in bronzo retta da 3 ninfe che gettano acqua, e si presenta una singolare enciclopedia politico-politico religiosa didascalica con particolare riferimento all vita civica di Perugia.
