The Gates of Paradise, created by Lorenzo Ghiberti, differs from earlier works in its intricate storytelling and use of perspective, showcasing a high level of artistry and innovation in relief sculpture. Completed in the 15th century, it features ten panels depicting biblical scenes, emphasizing narrative clarity and human emotion. Unlike previous doors, which often focused on a single moment or figure, Ghiberti's panels exhibit depth and a dynamic composition that draws the viewer into the scenes. Additionally, the use of bronze and the application of gold leaf enhanced its visual impact and prestige.

In various religious and cultural traditions, the concept of "gates in paradise" can differ. In Christianity, particularly in the Book of Revelation, it describes the New Jerusalem having twelve gates, each made of a single pearl, representing the twelve tribes of Israel. In Islamic tradition, paradise (Jannah) is also depicted as having multiple gates, though the specific number varies in interpretations. Overall, the imagery of gates symbolizes entry into a blessed and eternal state.
