Bonanno Pisano
Adam and Eve
This work by Bonanno is generally thought to be later than the one in Pisa because of a certain academic quality in the style. Wide empty spaces of Byzantine stamp, oriental decorativeness in the broad sense, soft and continuous modelling no longer come alive on the wave of creative inspiration, but remain the devices of a refined craft: without lacking, of course, a subtle, persuasive charm.
