The statue, in the round, represents a musician angel playing a trumpet. The statue must have been part of the group of sculptures placed in the cusps and tabernacles of the Porta del Campanile, on the southwest side of the Florence Cathedral. Not many information of them are available. The theme of the “musician angels” spreads already in medieval times. It can have a precise philosophical value, which finds its origin in the Judeo-Christian and Greco-classical conception of creation as an ordered and harmonious cosmos. Angels who blow the trumpets, like this one, however, also have the value of warning and announcement, as can be seen in the four of the Apocalypse that initiate the scourges of God's wrath.
