The Cardinal Virtues and the Church

The nervous vitality of these, which are meant to be symbolic figures, as an illustration of the mystical concept of the realisation of the “Ecclesia fidelium” on the foundation of the four cardinal points of man's moral perfection, documents Pisano's inexhaustible expressive richness and his rare ability to interpret abstract or narrative content with equal energy and effectiveness.
