"Scenes from the Life of St John the Baptist" is a series of bronze relief panels created by the Italian sculptor Andrea Pisano. These panels adorn the south doors of the Baptistery of San Giovanni in Florence, one of the city's most significant religious and historical landmarks. Commissioned in the early 14th century, the doors were completed between 1330 and 1336, marking a pivotal moment in the transition from Gothic to Renaissance art in Italy.

Andrea Pisano, also known as Andrea da Pontedera, was a prominent figure in the Italian Gothic period. His work on the Baptistery doors is considered one of his masterpieces, showcasing his skill in both sculpture and metalwork. The south doors consist of 28 panels, arranged in seven rows of four. Twenty of these panels depict scenes from the life of St John the Baptist, the patron saint of Florence, while the remaining eight panels feature personifications of the Christian virtues.

The narrative panels illustrate key moments from the life of St John the Baptist, starting with the Annunciation to Zacharias and culminating in the Baptism of Christ. Pisano's work is characterized by its detailed and expressive figures, as well as its innovative use of space and perspective. Each scene is framed by a quatrefoil, a design element that became a hallmark of Gothic art.

Pisano's doors were highly influential, setting a new standard for bronze sculpture in Florence. They were admired by contemporaries and later artists alike, including Lorenzo Ghiberti, who would go on to create the famous "Gates of Paradise" for the Baptistery's east doors. The south doors remain a testament to Pisano's artistic legacy and a significant example of early Renaissance art in Italy.
