What reading level is Siena And Southern Tuscany book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He received the order for this splendid work on Michaelmas Day, 1265, and, thanks to the help of Arnolfo and his son Giovanni and others, he was able to begin it on i March, 1266, and to complete it » Cf. W. Hey wood, op, cit. F p. 40.
SIENA— CATHEDRAL GROUP 115 in November, 1268. The plan is the same as that for the pulpit in the Baptistery of Pisa, but the work is richer and more clairvoyant. Octagonal in form, it possesses two more bas-reliefs than the pulpit of the Pisan baptistery, namely,... the Massacre of the Innocents and a second scene of the Last Judgment. But in every relief we find a more dramatic life and an art more naturalistic than in the earlier work. It is a masterpiece a little uncertain of itself, perhaps, but full of a new promise of joy. The unfortunate addition of the steps was made by Riccio at the end of the sixteenth century.
Close to the pulpit is the Cappella di S. Ansano. Within is the magnificent bronze tomb of Bishop Pecci, made in 1426 by Donatello. It is a triumph of technique, exquisite in workmanship and colour, keeping about it too, in spite of the worn surface, a sense of calm and repose not always to be found in Donatello's monuments.
