Lorenzo Ghiberti's
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.
Lorenzo Ghiberti is best known for his work on the bronze doors of the Florence Baptistery. This work influenced many artists and religious people alike.
The Renaissance metalworker who designed the doors for the Baptistry was Lorenzo Ghiberti. He was also a well-known architect and forged the doors from bronze.
