Della Quercia Jacopo
Drunkenness of Noah
Within the geometrically binding limits of the panels, the Gothic line, without losing any of its dynamic continuity, defines athletic forms charged with compressed energy; the relief is compressed into bold foreshortenings and powerful effects of “stiacciato”, and the plastic masses seem to expand so as to absorb and propagate the atmospheric light.
