With Masolino da Panicale and Michelozzo, Ghiberti had a fundamental role in the spread of the renaissance language. They had a high regard for the previous the previous gothic culture, but they corrected it and subjugated it to the principle of movement: in its deep figures with the elegant lines of the late gothic with the beauties of the Hellenistic knots, in the same way it fuses the late gothic naturalism with the renaissance archaeological taste, inserting its figures in scenes constructed with one perspective more intuitive that real.
