Andrea Pisano, Sculptor, relief on the Campanile of Santa Maria del Fiore, Florence, after 1334
Similar to his Painter relief, this relief also shows Giotto's influence on Andrea Pisano. It is subordinate to the overall architectural framework of the portal as it clearly stays within the boundaries set.

Interesting because Bernini takes advantage of all three types of art work within this Chapel - painting, sculpture, and architecture. |

Giorgione, the Tempest, ca. 1510, Venice, Gallerie dell’Accademi
Has been called the first landscape in western painting. Interesting because all of the symbols in the painting offer many interpretations, but none answers all of the questions.

Paolo Uccello, Sir John Hawkwood, 1436, Florence, Cathedral
Shows Uccello's interest in perspective. From below, it looks as if the images within the fresco are sculptures.

Andrea del Castagno, Niccolò da Tolentino, 1456, Florence, Cathedral
Much more elegant and unrealistic in comparison to Uccellos'. The intricate strands of hair (of the man and in the horse's tail) could not be replicated realistically in sculpture form.

Antonello da Messina, Pietà with Angel, ca. 1471-1474, Madrid, Museo del Prado
One of the first, if not the first, artist to create oil paintings. He practiced creating form with color rather than lines and shadows which influenced many Venetian painters of the 15th and 16th centuries.
