The
Florence Baptistry; the North door; one relief panel in color.
Twenty-eight
reliefs, arranged in 7 rows, are designed within quatrefoil shapes, a precedent
set by the reliefs of the South Doors by Andrea Pisano. The enframement
molding is designed with foliage and fruit, animals, insects, lizards, and
birds. At each intersection a head represents a male or female prophet.
Note: I did not photograph the images at the left and center; therefore,
they are grayscale and not clickable. |
