Bronzen deur van het Baptisterium van Florence naar Lorenzo Ghiberti, Italië 1863 - 1914

This photograph by Giorgio Sommer, taken between 1863 and 1914, depicts the "Gates of Paradise," a set of bronze doors sculpted by Lorenzo Ghiberti for the Baptistery of Florence. The image showcases the intricate detail of the panels, which depict scenes from the Old Testament. These doors, completed in 1425, are renowned for their artistic mastery and are considered a masterpiece of Early Renaissance art. The photograph, now in the Rijksmuseum, serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of these iconic doors.
