Andrea Pisano - Creation of Man



Creation of Man

This piece by Andrea Pisano looks to me to be a sculpture of one of Giotto’s paintings from the Arena Chapel. The pose and figures look almost identical, and may be simply a replication in a different medium. Other than compositional similarities, there is not much else that I could say about the piece in relation to Giotto, as the mediums are entirely different. Andrea’s piece looks to be much more complete than Giotto’s painting, however. The trees and background help even out the composition.
