IX. Donatello’s Pulpits in San Lorenzo

Jules Lubbock

Storytelling in Christian Art from Giotto to Donatello

~~There were, as we have seen, few opportunities for artists to tackle major cycles of the biblical stories, Old Testament or New. Once Ghiberti had secured the commission for the third doors of the Baptistery in 1425 it was unlikely that further opportunities in Florence would arise in the near future, if at all.
