Pulpit

by PASQUINO DA MONTEPULCIANO, Marble

In 1469 the Operai del Sacro Cingolo of Prato Cathedral bought the marble for the internal pulpit, and in a document of 4 December Pasquino was reported to be making the pulpit. For this reason, some of the carving on its tall base has been attributed to him. He was still working on the pulpit in 1470–71. In 1473, together with Verrocchio, he witnessed the payment made to Antonio Rossellino for the marble reliefs decorating the pulpit that he had sculpted with Mino da Fiesole.
