Description:

The sponsoring guild (Arte di Calimala) demanded a competition with panel submissions of the Sacrifice of Isaac for the commission of the east doors of the Florence Baptistry. These doors, facing the west entrance of the Duomo, were the most important. The fame of the south doors completed by Andrea Pisano in 1336 also made this an extremely desirable commission. Ghiberti (who won) in his account of the competition, records the name of seven competitors, all from Tuscany: Filippo Brunelleschi, Lorenzo Ghiberti, Jacopo della Quercia, Simone da Colle, Niccolò d'Arezzo, Niccolò di Pietro Lamberti, and Francesco di Valdambrino. Only the two panels by Ghiberti and Brunelleschi have been preserved. (Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia. org/wiki/Main_Page)
