  1. Ghiberti“Gates of Paradise”

  2. Ghiberti • Gold smith who took 28 years to complete the gates and included a portrait of himself • Scenes from the old testament. • Narrative scenes that read like a book from top to bottom and left to right • Became adept at fitting several stories into one panel without the story getting lost • To help show the sequence of events he made the figures in the foreground appear large and strongly profiled, and those in the background smaller and flatter

  3. Personal Thoughts on Ghiberti • Now answer one of the following ?’s or come up with your own ideas how your artwork relates to your life. • Take all the time provided and write at least a half page (you will be sharing these with your neighbor when we’re done) • What do you think paradise looks like? Do you think people today would be ok with an artwork taking 28 years to complete? If you represented paradise in an artwork what would it look like? Do you think everyone's idea of paradise would be the same? Why or why not?
