Nino Pisano

Nino Pisano, a Florentine sculptor, son of Andrea Pisano (who is perhaps best known for his set of bronze doors for the Florence Baptistery), worked under his father in Florence in the 1330s on figures for the Campanile of Florence Cathedral. There is a Virgin and Child signed by him in Santa Maria Novella in Florence. He later briefly succeeded his father as capomaestro at Orvieto Cathedral. He also worked in Pisa, Sicily, and in Venice, where the Virgin on the tomb of Marco Corner has been attributed to him and his assistants. There is a footnote at Works, 4.300 quoting a description from Ruskin 's 1845 notebook of Nino Pisano's work in Pisa. There are further references to him at Works, 12.202 and Works, 38.328.
