The Passion Pulpit
Artist: Donatello
 1460    Sculpture

 See Details

Donatello spent most of the last years of his life in Florence. His last work of importance was the bronze reliefs for the two pulpits of San Lorenzo, commissioned in c. 1460, and finished after his death by his pupil Bertoldo. The southern pulpit, now known as the Passion Pulpit, features images of Christ in Gethsemane, Christ before Caiaphas and Pilate, the Flagellation, as well as scenes of the Crucifixion, Deposition and Burial of Christ.

The Pastoral Life of Saint Geneviève
Artist: Pierre Puvis de Chavannes
 1874-79    Painting

 See Details

Puvis's murals for the French capital depicting the life of the patron saint of Paris were created over a five-year period. The work is bordered with leafy garlands that lend a decorative quality. Even more emphatically, near the ceiling of the Pantheon a riot of decorative elements, a great frieze of twenty-two haloed figures and a winged monster, hang above the mural.

This oil on canvas painting is in the Pantheon, Paris. France.
