"SPLENDIDLY SIGNIFICANT: Creating, Restoring, and Displaying Lorenzo Ghiberti’s 'Gates of Paradise'"

This conversation and slide show traced the history of Lorenzo Ghiberti’s famous Gates of Paradise from their creation for Florence’s Baptistery in the fifteenth century through their modern restoration. My guest, Renaissance scholar and textbook author Gary Radke, organized an unprecedented exhibition of Ghiberti’s panels in the United States before the doors were permanently reinstalled in Florence’s Cathedral Museum. Learn about Ghiberti as a cunning businessman and impresario
and marvel at how modern scientists, restorers, and museum professionals have preserved Ghiberti’s timeless work for the future.
