Description:
|
|
The theme for Ghiberti's north doors of the Baptistry is the life of Christ in 20 scenes with the 8 lower panels containing the Evangelists and Fathers of the Church. As these doors were kept shut, except on feast days, the scenes read from the bottom accross both wings. The enframing lattice is considerably richer than that of Pisano's doors, and the compositions are more closely coordinated with the quatrefoils. The doors were moved to the north side after Ghiberti completed his second commission, known as the Gates of Paradise, which replaced them on the east. It took Ghiberti 21 years to complete these doors. They were partially gilded (the figures within the quatrefoils). Each panel is 52 x 45 cm (inside molding). They were moved inside the museum and copies were placed outdoors ca. 1990. (Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia. org/wiki/Main_Page)
