Summary

Artist: Lorenzo Ghiberti, ca.1425-1452.
Description: Moses receives the tables of the law from God. (One of the ten scenes/panels from: The Gates of Paradise, gilded bronze doors of the Florence Baptistery.)

Michelangelo referred to these doors as fit to be the "Gates of Paradise" (It. Porte del Paradiso), and they are still invariably referred to by this name. Giorgio Vasari described them a century later as "undeniably perfect in every way and must rank as the finest masterpiece ever created". Ghiberti himself said they were "the most singular work that I have ever made".
