The South Doors: Entombment of the Baptist is a significant panel from the renowned bronze doors created by the Italian sculptor Andrea Pisano for the Baptistery of San Giovanni in Florence. Completed between 1330 and 1336, these doors are celebrated as one of the earliest and most important examples of Renaissance art in Florence. The South Doors consist of 28 panels, each depicting scenes from the life of St. John the Baptist, the patron saint of Florence, as well as virtues.

The Entombment of the Baptist is one of these panels and illustrates the poignant moment of St. John the Baptist's burial. Andrea Pisano's work is noted for its detailed and expressive portrayal of the figures, capturing the solemnity and reverence of the scene. The composition is characterized by its balanced arrangement and the use of perspective, which was innovative for its time. The figures are rendered with a remarkable sense of volume and naturalism, reflecting Pisano's mastery of bronze casting and his ability to convey deep emotion through his art.

The South Doors were originally installed on the east side of the Baptistery but were later moved to the south side to make way for Lorenzo Ghiberti's famous Gates of Paradise. Pisano's doors have been highly influential, setting a precedent for the use of bronze in large-scale public artworks and inspiring subsequent generations of artists, including Ghiberti himself.

Andrea Pisano's contribution to the South Doors, particularly the Entombment of the Baptist, is a testament to his skill and innovation as a sculptor. His work not only enhances the architectural splendor of the Baptistery but also serves as a vital link in the evolution of Renaissance art, bridging the gap between Gothic traditions and the emerging humanist ideals of the Renaissance.
