WEBINAR RECORDING | “Pisano’s Pulpits in Pisa and Siena”
Presented by Dr. Rocky Ruggiero

Join Dr. Rocky for this free webinar where we will examine two of the most extraordinary sculptures of the Middle Ages. Nicola Pisano revolutionized sculpture in the 13th century by introducing emotion, movement, naturalism, and drama. Pisano’s pulpits in Pisa and Siena are his two most important works and inspired later works by Donatello, Michelangelo, and Bernini.

The webinar recording consists of a 45-minute lecture.
