Previous Episode: Episode 56: Florence - Competition Panels (Bargello)
This episode examines the "North Doors" of Florence Baptistry that were produced by Lorenzo Ghiberti between 1403-1423 as a result of the famous competition of 1401 won by the same artist. The same International Gothic Style attributes that characterize Ghiberti's earlier competition panel, and which were the very reason that he won the competition, are prevalent throughout the 28 panels that make up these North Doors as well.
