The "Gates of Paradise": Lorenzo Ghiberti's Renaissance Masterpiece
Painstakingly restored, three relief panels from the left wing of the
Gates of Paradise and sections of the door's frieze are on view in the
museum's galleries before being permanently reinstalled in Florence,
Italy, never to travel again. Don't miss this once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity to see a Renaissance masterpiece.
This lecture has been supported by the Istituto Italiano di Cultura di Chicago.
