Lorenzo Ghiberti

Lorenzo Ghiberti (1375-1455) was one of the first artists awarded an art commission contest that greatly impacted all other artists after him. He was most known for his narrative bronze cast doors that Michelangelo called "The Gates of Paradise" because of their physical and spiritual beauty. He effectively and impressively used linear perspective within rilievo schiacciato ( a flattened relief technique with a variety of depths). 

​Download this art project with detailed, step-by-step instructions and a brief biography of Ghiberti's life and artwork.

Study about Ghiberti's famous bronze doors, learn how to find Foreground, Background and Middle ground in an artpiece, compare two of the panels from Ghiberti's bronze doors (with a comparison chart), and make a plaster casting of a toy. This lesson includes a brief biography of his life and artwork.

Il Grande Museo del Duomo, Florence, Italy

Take a slideshow tour of the Baptistery, one of the three buildings in this historical monument. The original doors have been moved into a museum for protection and replaced with replicas. The highly contrasting marble covering the inside and outside of the buildings is a strong attention grabber. More information can be found at these websites:
