Ghiberti's career was dominated by his two successive commissions for pairs of bronze doors to the Florence Baptistery (Battistero di San Giovanni).
They are recognized as a major masterpiece of the Early Renaissance, and were famous and influential from their unveiling.
 Ghiberti first became famous when as a 21-year-old he won the 1401 competition for the first set of bronze doors, with Brunelleschi as the runner up.
The original plan was for the doors to depict scenes from the Old Testament, but the plan was changed to depict scenes from the New Testament instead.
However, the trial piece, which survives, depicts the sacrifice of Isaac.

To carry out this commission, he set up a large workshop in which many artists trained, including Donatello, Masolino, Michelozzo, Uccello, and Antonio Pollaiuolo.
When his first set of twenty-eight panels was complete, Ghiberti was commissioned to produce a second set for another doorway in the church, this time with scenes from the Old Testament, as originally intended for his first set.
Instead of twenty-eight scenes, he produced ten rectangular scenes in a completely different style.
These were more naturalistic, with perspective and a greater idealization of the subject.
Dubbed "The Gates of Paradise" by Michelangelo, this second set remains a major monument of the age of Renaissance humanism.

The Gates of Paradise had 10 panels with several episodes from a particular story from the Old Testament portrayed on each of them.

The list below shows where each story is placed on the Gates of Paradise.
