Lorenzo Ghiberti Felipe Brunelleschi

Finalistas del concurso



(Pontedera, actual Italia, 1295-Orvieto, id., 1349) Escultor y

arquitecto italiano. Entre 1330 y 1336 se ocupó de la

realización de las primeras puertas de bronce del baptisterio

de Florencia, en las que representó escenas de la vida desan Juan Bautista y una serie de figuras personificadoras de

las virtudes. Se trata de su obra más importante, testimonio

de la singular elegancia del estilo gótico, del que fue un

representante destacado. Hacia 1340, Andrea Pisano sucedió

a Giotto como arquitecto de la catedral de Florencia, para la

que realizó en lo sucesivo proyectos, relieves y esculturas. En1347 fue nombrado maestro de obras de la catedral de

Orvieto, en la que contó con la colaboración de su hijo Nino,

quien a su vez esculpió la tumba de Marco Cornaro en la

iglesia de San Giovanni y Paolo, en Venecia.

Bronze

Baptistry, Florence

This is the masterpiece of Ghiberti, who worked

on it for 27 years, lavishing on it all the richnessof his imagination, combined with a fine sense of

composition and profound knowledge of the

modeller's art. Michelangelo defined the door as

fit to be the "gate of Paradise".

The door, a universally admired masterpiece, has

ten panels depicting Biblical scenes. At the

centre of the door at left is the self-portrait of

Ghiberti. The door's original gilding has recently

been recovered from beneath the patina formedover the centuries. It was badly damaged by

Florence's flood in 1966 when the waters of the

Arno reached a height of more than 180 cm.

After restoration it was moved to the museum of

the Cathedral and substituted by a copy.

Orsanmichele, Florence

One of the greatest sculptural programmes in the

early Quattrocento was the exterior decoration of the

Orsanmichele (a former grain market which had

become an oratory below and a meeting hall for the

market above), a building which joined civic and

religious functions. In the Trecento each guild had

been assigned the task of filling one niche with a

freestanding statue of its patron saint. Only a few

guilds complied, forcing the city council in 1406 to

set a ten-year deadline for these obligations, which

precipitated a spate of commissions.

Ghiberti entered the Orsanmichele arena in 1412

with the first bronze and his first large-scale figure,St John the Baptist, for the Arte di Calimala. The

work, cast in one piece, was so difficult to execute

that the guild stipulated it be undertaken at the

sculptor's risk. Although St John appears to

epitomize the International Gothic style, his scroll is

inscribed with what is thought to be an early example

of humanist script.
