Abstract

In 1246, a lavishly ornamented baptismal font was completed in Pisa, shortly after a papal interdict had been laid upon the city. What did it mean to the Pisans to erect such a grandiose religious monument precisely at this moment? And how is this reflected in the font’s decorative scheme? This article argues that not only the figurative elements in the font’s overall design, but most decidedly also its ornament, contribute to shaping a specific image of Pisan identity that closely responds to the political needs of the time.

圣坛:比萨圣乔凡尼洗礼坛装饰功能的再思考

1246年，在罗马教皇对比萨下达禁令后不久，一座装饰华丽的洗礼池在比萨建成。对比萨人来说，恰好在这个时候竖立这样一座宏伟的宗教纪念碑意味着什么?这是如何反映在字体的装饰方案?本文认为，不仅字体整体设计中的具象元素，而且最重要的是它的装饰，有助于塑造一个与时代政治需求密切相关的Pisan身份的特定形象。
