Noah's Ark

The main portal's relief was crafted between 1425 and 1438 by Jacopo della Quercia. This master sculptor carved scenes from the Old Testament into bas-relief, depicting God's creation of man down to the Flood and Noah's Ark in exquisite detail. His work revolutionized sculpture, as no artisans before him had successfully produced art in this style since ancient times, rendering it a lost technique rather than simply forgotten.
