North doors panels: 3. Adoration of the Magi
by GHIBERTI, Lorenzo, Gilded bronze
The theme for Ghiberti’s north doors of the Baptistery is the life of Christ in 20 scenes with the 8 lower panels containing the Evangelists and Fathers of the Church. As these doors were kept shut, except on feast days, the scenes read from the bottom accross both wings.
