After viewing the beauty of the Gates of Paradise and the expertise with which they were made, one could hardly disagree with Ghiberti's own words. "It is the most singular work that I have ever made, and it was finished with all art measure and skill" (Paolucci 1996). Clearly part of what makes the Gates ofParadise such a great work is the "convincing presentation of
space and reality" (Krautheimer 1956). This convincing, realistic representation of space was quite a technical innovation for its time and had profound effects on artists of later periods. The combination of the gilding, diminution of figure size and height of relief towards the back planes, and most importantly the creation of a true one point linear perspective all contribute to the sense of space. The three panels that combine these elements most completely are the Solomon, Joseph, and Isaac. The Isaac panel, especially, results from the near perfect use of all these elements. Vasari perhaps ex- pressed best the importance that Ghiberti's East Doors play in the history of art: "The doors are undeniably perfect in every way and must rank as the finest master- piece ever created, either in ancient or modern times" (Paolucci 1996). One would tend to agree with Vasari and with Michelangelo. Lorenzo Ghiberti's East Doors for the Baptistery in Florence are truly the Gates of Paradise.
