Take a tour through Florence, Italy during the Renaissance. Today we are looking at "The Gates of Paradise" by Lorenzo Ghiberti. We will bump into Brunoleschi and his world-renowned Duomo and learn why they are called The Gates of Paradise.
This excerpt is from Hugh Leeman's online lecture series, featuring Italian Renaissance paintings, virtual tours, Florence, Uffizzi gallery, and much more. This online Renaissance
lecture series is hosted by universities, art museums, and life-long learning platforms. In
"Connecting the Renaissance to Today", we examine an ancient pagan past that meets with the
expanding influence of Islam to propel Christian societies of Renaissance Europe towards new
artistic heights. Images of our present emerge as the pioneering technologies of warfare and
capitalism meet at the confluence of a public health crisis setting in motion human ingenuity
that continues to influence the cutting-edge technology of our world today, from NFT's and
cryptocurrency to top-secret microbes.
