Head of a Prophet about 1300 Unidentified artist, Strasbourg Object Place: Strasbourg Dimensions: 36.5 x 23.5 x 25.4 cm (14 3/8 x 9 1/4 x 10 in.) Material: Sandstone Classification: Sculpture Type: Figure Accession Number: 56.506 Not on view This deeply expressive head may come from the majestic Gothic cathedral in Strasbourg. Like many other churches, this cathedral was vandalized during the French Revolution, and sculptures were removed, destroyed, or decapitated. The pointed cap and the slightly open mouth indicate that the head represents a prophet, speaking his message. The face is sensitively carved, with furrowed brow, sunken cheeks, and pensive eyes conveying a strong personality. Text from: www.mfa.org/collections/object/head-of-a-prophet-258584

Head of a Saint or Prophet about 1320–25 Tino di Camaino, Italian, about 1280–1337 Dimensions: 33.0 x 24.1 x 27.9 cm (13 x 9 1/2 x 11 in.) Material: Stone; marble Classification: Sculpture Type: figure Accession Number: 47.1447 On view in the Museum Council Gallery (Europe, 1000–1400 / Medieval) - 254 This head has recently been attributed to Tino di Camaino, a sculptor who worked in Siena, Florence, and Naples. It may be a fragment of a monumental sculpture that was once placed over a door to the baptistery in Florence. Although the nose is broken off, the fine working of the face and the deep drilling of the beard emphatically capture the character and expression of the figure, which would have been clearly legible to onlookers on the street below.
