Andrea Pisano’s bronze doors for the Florence Baptistery were an important fourteenth-century commission. When it was decided to commission a second set of doors for the Baptistery, a competition was held to determine the artist. Ultimately, the work of the young and unknown sculptor, Lorenzo Ghiberti, was chosen over the work of the more established Filippo Brunelleschi. Do you agree with the decision of the judges?
Present an argument as to whether you believe Brunelleschi or Ghiberti should have been selected for this prestigious commission.
