| | Giovanni, son of Niccola, learned his art in working for his father, and later took entire charge of the large commissions entrusted to him. | | | Tradition has ascribed the sculptures of the façade to Giovanni and his pupils, but no documents exist to prove that they are his work. | | | It is from Niccolô that we may date the beginnings of the new life of representative art, taking its rise in the classic art, but developing with fresh originality. |

| | Biography |
| | Pisano, name of two 13th- and 14th-century Italian sculptors and architects, father and son, who were the preeminent figures of the 13th-century Italian revival of the classical Roman sculptural style. | | | Giovanni's designs were some of the most powerful and expressive in Italian art at the end of the 13th century, and they were a dominant influence on Italian sculptors of the early Renaissance, among them Jacopo della Quercia, Lorenzo Ghiberti, and Donatello. | | | In Nicola's later work, and that of his son, Giovanni, the classical style often shows an increasing integration of Gothic motifs and stylistic elements. |
