Bronze Door by Ghiberti |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| This detail from Lorenzo Ghiberti’s gilt bronze doors for the Baptistery in Florence known as the Gates of Paradise and completed around 1452, depicts Joseph’ brothers in Egypt. The various episodes in the biblical story of Joseph have provided a fund of inspiration for Western artists. The account in the Book of Genesis provided an explanation for the early presence of the Israelites in Egypt. | ||||||
