Pulpit: Santa Croce, Florence







Benedetto da Maiano (1442-1497) was commissioned by the wealthy banker Pietro Mellini to create a funeral monument in the form of a pulpit.

The pulpit was constructed from marble in the period 1472-1476.

The reliefs of the pulpit represent scenes from the life of the Franciscans.
