Ghiberti started creating his first set of doors for the baptistry in Florence in 1403. We know that during this work (which lasted until 1424) Donatello and quite a few other Florentine artists assisted him. Donatello was born in 1386, so when work on the doors was started, Donatello was 17. It is not known, though, at what point Donatello joined the work force.

During what years did Ghiberti work on the Baptistry doors?

Ghiberti worked on his first set of doors 1403 - 1424 and the second (La Porta del Paradiso) 1425 - 1452. Since there was a set of doors by Andrea Pisano, finished in 1336, the ones by Ghiberti were the second and the third sets, thus enriching the Baptistry with beautifully sculpted doors in all the doorways.
