THE LITTLE ST. JOHN (Florence) TUSCAN SCULPTURE AND ENAMEL }N Florence the art of the modeller was far in advance of the painter's. This is not unintelligible, for the sculptor had under his eyes the sculpture of the past, whereas the painter had no painting; he had the conventions and code of a virtually new art to decide. The mosaics and the illumina- tions were all that the early painters possessed for precedents and models. The difficult art of bas-relief had become Italian through the firs...t Tuscan who learnt of the last Greek ; but Italian painting had nothing nearer to Antiquity than some so-called Madonnas of the painter-Evangelist Saint Luke. The mosaics and the illuminations were, indeed, Byzantine, and indirectly Greek. But compare the figures of the enthroned mosaic Madonna at Ravenna, and her ceremonial Child, with the classic sarcophagus that inspired the Pisan. The one is Byzantine, the other Greek. The sculptor, then, inherited the rules of the art. The painter had to devise, for instance, the treatment of a certain degree of perspective by means of the linear art.
