DOWNLOAD EBOOKTake an amazing armchair tour of The Baptistery of San Giovanni in Florence, Italy. The Baptistery is one of the oldest buildings in the city, constructed between 1059 and 1128 in the Florentine Romanesque style. It influenced the development of architecture, and formed the basis from which Filippo Brunelleschi, and the others created Renaissance architecture. This is a lush two-volume set bound in silk cloth. Volume one is a full color photographic atlas of the entire historic structure. Volume two is detailed history of the art and architecture in English and Italian. The Baptistery is renowned for its three sets of artistically important bronze doors with relief sculptures. The south doors were done by Andrea Pisano and the north and east doors by Lorenzo Ghiberti. The east doors were dubbed by Michelangelo the Gates of Paradise. The poet Dante and many members of the Medici family, were baptized in this baptistery.
