  10. What earlier sculpture does this remind you of? Tomb of a Knight, Dorchester Abbey Oxfordshire, England c. 1260 Gothic style spread to England- mostly seen in tomb sculpture- death is violent action rather than peace

  11. Crucifixion, Naumburg Cathedral c. 1240-50 • The Naumburg Master • German technique from French • Sacred subject comes down to earth-weight and volume • PATHOS

  12. Pieta- “Pity” and “Piety” • Completely made up • Appealed to private worship • Reflects the emotional nature of medieval art • Heads enlarged to show emotion Pieta, Early 14th c.

  14. ITALY • Nicola Pisano, Pulpit, • Pisa Cathedral, 1259-60 • Greatest of medieval classicists • Space is squeezed together-shallow • Still Gothic details
