Gates of Paradise (1425-52) – Lorenzo Ghiberti

Designed for the north entrance of the Baptistery of San Giovanni in Florence but eventually placed at the east entrance, the Gates of Paradise are gilded bronze doors created by Lorenzo Ghiberti. A true masterpiece of the Early Renaissance, the doors feature 10 relief panels depicting various scenes from the Old Testament, including The Creation, Story of Abraham, and Jacob and Esau. The incredible detail (they took 27 years to complete) influenced not only his generation but future generations of artists. You can see copies of the panels at the Baptistery, but if you want to see the originals, then you’ll have to visit the nearby Museo dell’Opera del Duomo.
