3 Virgin with Child Tympanum at Pisa Cathedral in Pisa, Italy

The Cathedral of Pisa was dedicated to St. Mary of the Assumption when it was built from the 11th through the 14th centuries. This pink and white marble tympanum over the church’s Porta di San Ranieri entrance displays an ornate mosaic of the Virgin with Child. It was sculpted by Giovanni Pisano. The initials stand for Opera della Primaziale Pisana, an entity that was created in 1063 to oversee the building of Duomo di Pisa. The non-profit organization still manages the religious complex of buildings within Piazza del Miracoli.
