1. "I strove to imitate nature as clearly as I could, and with
all the perspective I could produce," wrote the Renaissance
sculptor Lorenzo Ghiberti of the gilded bronze doors he created for
Florence's Baptistery. Describe all the techniques Ghiberti used in
the panel Jacob and Esau in order to achieve the illusion of 3d
space.
2. Here are the techniques described in chapter Four. Which of
those can be found in the panel? (be aware that one of them is not
used here). With your group review them one by one and find
specific examples in the panel to support your arguments.
Overlapping
Relative Size
Position
Linear Perspective
Foreshortening
Atmospheric Perspective
Isometric Perspective
3. In addition to the illusion of space, this relief sculpture also
contains actual space. Describe how Ghiberti is using the various
heights of the relief (high relief and low relief) to enhance the
illusion of deep space.
