Portale

Workshop of Biduinus Italian

On view at The Met Cloisters in Gallery 02

Questo portale dedicato a san Leonardo, il santo patrono dei carcerati, costituiva l’ingresso principale della chiesetta di San Leonardo al Frigido in Toscana. Per gli stipiti di sostegno ai lati della porta un antico sarcofago fu riutilizzato e scolpito con raffigurazioni dell’Annunciazione e della Visitazione a sinistra, a destra san Leonardo sostiene simbolicamente un prigioniero. Sull’architrave è raffigurato l’ingresso a Gerusalemme sul modello di un rilievo sepolcrale paleocristiano, che testimonia il rinnovato interesse per l’arte di quel periodo nell’Italia del XII secolo.
