The Crucifixion panel (facing the nave under the eagle) is proto-Renaissance. Christ’s anatomy is realistic. Mary (bottom left) swoons into the arms of the other women, a very human outburst of emotion. And a Roman soldier (to the right, by Giovanni) turns to look back with an easy motion that breaks the stiff, frontal Gothic mold.

Look at the two panels facing the altar. It’s Judgment Day, and Christ is flanked by the saved (on his right, almost hypnotized by the presence of their savior) and, on his left, the desperate damned.

If you visit Pisa, you’ll see two similar Pisano pulpits there. (See here and here for more on the Pisanos and their pulpits.)
