Monreale cathedral, bronze doors of Bonannus of Pisa, Cain and Abel

Monreale cathedral, bronze doors of Bonannus of Pisa, Cain and Abel

The bronze doors of the west entrance of Monreale cathedral were signed and dated (1186) by Bonannus of Pisa who also made two sets of doors for Pisa Cathedral. Twenty Old Testament scenes occupy the five lower rows and twenty New Testament scenes the upper five rows. This panel shows the brothers, Cain and Abel, in the fields tending flocks. It is in the second row (from the bottom) of Old Testament scenes on the right door. D'Emilio photo archive no. s19781115_2063u (13.4.14/JD)
