The 10 gilded panels on the "Gates of Paradise," the east doors to the Battistero di San Giovanni in Florence, Italy, depict old testament scenes. The current doors (shown here) are copies with the Lorenzo Ghiberti originals kept in the cathedral museum.

The eastern doors or "Gates of Paradise" to the Battistero di San Giovanni in Florence, Italy, are copies of the original 15th century bronze doors created by Lorenzo Ghiberti.

Lorenzo Ghiberti won the competition against Filippo Brunelleschi over the design of the main gate of the Baptistry of Florence, aptly named the Gates of Paradise by Michelangelo Buonarroti because of its striking beauty. This incredibly crafted bronze door was also featured in Dan Brown’s novel Inferno. #ghiberti #gate #gatesofparadise #gates #bronze #michelangelo #danbrown #inferno #baptistry #competition #designcompetition #designinspo #architecturaldigest #architectureclass #history #architecturephotos #sculptor #architect #ianfulgar #craftsmanship #lorenzoghiberti (at Florence, Italy) https://www.instagram.com/p/B65LLeMBbEl/?igshid=12baacoqid8ah

Quando sei in subway a Brooklyn e vedi qualcosa di familiare: la scala del #palazzofarnesecaprarola fotografata da un giapponese! 🎎 In celebration of #JapanSociety 110th anniversary, #HiroshiSugimoto: #GatesofParadise charts the story of four #Japanese boys, who were swept up in the tide of religion, commerce and politics during the first Global Age and sent to the princely and papal courts of Europe. Journey in their footsteps through Sugimoto's new monumental photographs of the sites they visited, and navigate the germination of cultural exchange between East and West with classical masterpieces of visually hybrid (nanban) art from Japanese and American collections. 📸 Hiroshi Sugimoto (b. 1948), Staircase at #VillaFarnese II, #Caprarola, 2016, Gelatin Silver Print, 58.7 x 47 in (149.2 x 119.4 cm) © Hiroshi Sugimoto (at Lorimer Street L and G Subway Station)
