- The lost wax bronze casting of the replicas of the North Door by Lorenzo Ghiberti, recently affixed on the Florence Baptistery. The video shows the ancient technique of the lost wax cast. And the ceremony that took place on Saturday January the 24th 2016, to celebrate this achievement, the preservation of the art for humankind.
This video is the perfect example of the union of ancient techniques with modern techniques: the perfect symbiosis of past and present. Very beautiful allegory of the knowledge of humanity.
It's simply incredible to see all the tools used today in order to reconstruct doors that were built in a time when we didn't have many of these modern techniques. It makes you realize how incredibly painstaking the process was when the originals were first made.
Wow! Just, wow! I hope someday I'm fortunate enough to see them personally. Great job!
So beautiful!!!
Beautiful craftsmanship.
For me watching this, the experience was almost Holy, Godly. Wonderful that no stone were left unturned . Thank you rich people from all over the world to made this 10th wonder of the world possible.

Magnifient!
Craftsmen have the best life
amazing video, really incredible. the music was atrocious though
Amazing. Just visited Florence and was intrigued to find out more about the craftsmanship. Does anyone know how to find out more about the initial way of how it got sculpted back in the day? How was this possible without silicon and such precise power tools and how long did it take?
Vasari's "Lives of the artists" cover that, specifically the biography of Ghiberti.
Say I want a set for my house? Do you deliver?
Theface ofawsomeness hi friend，we are craft bronze door supplier，we can delivery to your destination😊
so reproductions were made and the originals were refinished? where did the extra set go?
They should be at the Galleria dell'Opera del Duomo in Florence
I made on
This could have been very informative. Gone into detail about the original process and how the restoration process worked. Instead we got this rediculous music!!
The magic of technology allows one to turn off the music and play something else that better suits one’s taste.
