Andrea Pisano

[3] He later became an apprentice of Mino di Giovanni, about 1300, and worked with him on the sculpture for S. Maria della Spina at Pisa and elsewhere.

It is assumed that Giotto di Bondone was eventually more influential on his style than his earlier teacher.

The door consists of a number of small quatrefoil panels, the lower eight containing single figures of the Virtues, and the rest scenes from the life of John the Baptist.

[4] Andrea Pisano, while living in Florence, also produced many important works of marble sculpture, all of which show Giotto's influence.

[1] There he produced a series of reliefs, possibly designed by his former teacher, including the double band of panel-reliefs which Pisano executed for the great campanile.
