Sculpture of a woman holding a tablet
In 1579 the Renaissance sculptor Domenico Poggini made a pair of life-size statues for the main altar of San Pancrazio in Florence. In this one, a woman is holding a tablet inscribed with the “New Law” (legge nuova) whereas the other statue tablets of the “Old Law” (legge vecchia) is being held. These were interpreted as distinguishing the Christian tradition from the Jewish through the Law of Moses in the Old Testament of the Hebrew Bible and the Law of Christ in the New Testament. This “New Law” statue has been called the 'Personification of the New Testament'. It is entitled “Legge Nuova – Onus Leve”. The phrase 'onus leve' (light burden) comes from Matthew 1: 30 “my yoke is easy and the burden light”. This compares the Law of Christ in the New Testament to the burdensome yoke of the legalistic law-keeping imposed by the Pharisees in the Old Testament.
