Artwork
Ghiberti was a great Renaissance man because the works he sculpted showed many renaissance ideals. His works included classicism and realism. Something with Classicism usually has inspiration from Greek or Roman culture and architecture It can depict mythology or be free-standing nudes. Classicism is well proportioned as you can see in the friezes above, it's easy to visualize how large the building is as you see the people below. A work of art with realism includes perspective, shading, color, fine details, texture, or proportional bodies. In the work above it is easy to know what each scene means without having an explanation because his work is very realistic instead of representative or abstract. Other sculptures he made that include these values are Discovery of the Golden Cup, Adoration of Magi, and Pilate Washing his Hands.
