The creation of Eve

To carry the work forward, which was to become the most organic and reasoned historical-religious synthesis “in figures” of our Middle Ages (1310-1330), the great Sienese architect sought the collaboration of other stonemasons, who always worked, however, under his guidance and according to his programme. This episode represents one of the summits of his art and is undoubtedly entirely autograph.
