1 gen 1401 anni - Competition for the Florence Baptistery

Descrizione:

In 1401, a competition was held in Florence to design the doors of the Baptistery of San Giovanni. The competition, won by Lorenzo Ghiberti, is seen as a key moment in the beginning of the Renaissance. Ghiberti’s innovative design and use of perspective and classical themes marked a departure from medieval artistic conventions. This event signalled a renewed interest in classical antiquity and the humanistic values that would define the Renaissance.
