Text Appearing Before Image:
of the baptistery at Florence by Ghiberti, whichwere completed in 1452, are among the finest products ofRenaissance sculpture (see illustration).1 Florence reached the height of its preeminence as an artcenter during the reign of Lorenzo the Magnificent, who wasa devoted patron of all the arts. With his death (1492), thispreeminence passed to Rome, which was fast becoming one ofthe great capitals of Europe. The art-loving popes, Julius IIand Leo X, took pains to secure the services of the most dis-tinguished artists and architects of the time in the building andadornment of St. Peters and the Vatican; that is, the papalchurch and palace (see above, p. 231). 1 Opposite the cathedral at Florence (Fig. 67) stands the ancient baptistery.Its northern bronze doors, with ten scenes from the Bible, surrounded by a verylovely border of foliage, birds, and animals, were completed by Lorenzo Ghibertiin 1452, after many years of labor. Michael Angelo declared them worthy to bethe gates of heaven.
