A rich account of the giant bronze doors so exquisite that Michelangelo proclaimed them suitable to serve as the “Gates of Paradise” With contributions by Andrew Butterfield, Margaret Haines, Francesco Caglioti, Annamaria Giusti, Edilberto Formigli, Salvatore Siano, Piero Bertelli, Ferdinando Marinelli, Marcello Miccio, Francesca G. Bewer, Richard E. Stone, Shelley G. Sturman. This extensively illustrated book displays the full glory and elaborate details of many of the newly restored bronze panels, the extraordinary work of the conservators and restorers who cleaned the priceless doors. In a series of fascinating chapters, expert contributors capture Ghiberti’s world, his remarkable talent at representing human emotion in rich illusionistic settings, the relationships between Renaissance patrons and artists, and the collaborations and rivalries among artists. Other chapters explore the challenging craft of bronze sculpture, Ghiberti’s casting and finishing techniques, and the painstaking process involved in documenting and restoring the treasured doors.
