Porta di San Ranieri, Bronze sculpture in Museo dell'Opera del Duomo, Pisa, Italy
The Porta di San Ranieri consists of twenty-four bronze panels mounted on a wooden structure, depicting scenes from the New Testament.
Created between 1180 and 1181 by Bonanno Pisano, the bronze door survived the cathedral fire of 1595 and now resides in the museum.
The panels combine classical and Byzantine influences, presenting biblical narratives through detailed compositions that flow from bottom to top and left to right.
The original door remains protected in the Museo dell'Opera del Duomo, while a replica stands in the cathedral's right transept.
Each bronze panel features educational inscriptions that contextualize the depicted events, making the artwork both decorative and instructional.
