Gates of Paradise

by Lorenzo Ghiberti

    I was amazed when I saw this piece of art because the gold panel doors entertained my eyes and I can see why that they called it the "Gates of Paradise."  Every square on this door tells a story, and each panel is made out of gold.  This magnificent piece of art was made during the Renaissance time period.  If you view this artwork during the day the sun reflects off the gold panels and they sparkle and shine like rays of sun.  You can see the lines which makes each character’s face and expression, and in each panel the figures show action and tells a story that’s unforgettable.
