Child: Giovanni PisanoAbout this person
Nicola Pisano worked in Italy sometime between 1220 and 1284, carving in a manner that set him apart from his medieval contemporaries. Where others followed Gothic convention, he studied classical Roman sculpture and brought its forms - its weight, its drapery, its physicality - into his own work. That backward glance became a hinge: some call him the founder of modern sculpture, not for inventing from nothing but for recovering something lost and making it live again in stone.
