Listen "Ghiberti vs. Brunelleschi"
Episode Synopsis
The Florentine Renaissance saw two of its greatest minds, Lorenzo Ghiberti and Filippo Brunelleschi, locked in a fierce competition: Ghiberti ultimately won the commission for the elaborate bronze doors of the Baptistery with his exquisite relief work, while Brunelleschi went on to revolutionize architecture by engineering the massive, self-supporting dome of the Florence Cathedral. Their rivalry not only highlighted their extraordinary talents but also set a benchmark for artistic and engineering innovation that defined the era.
