The Liberal Arts

Such is the polished elegance, the almost porcelain-like grace of the soft little figures that in the Pisa pulpit signify the contribution of men to the penetration of theological mysteries, that the hypothesis of those who see in them the specific imprint of Giovanni di Balduccio's collaboration appears very plausible, who tempers the master's tight linear dynamism into sweet heraldic elegances.
