The Prophet Jeremiah

Although impeccably bound into the architectural and decorative fabric of the pulpit, the prophets and the other corner figures that separate the narrative panels from one another, live with a personality of their own, imperiously probed, so that their function, which should have been emblematic according to the underlying doctrinal scheme, gives way to a passionate and lucid individualisation.
