The "Sacrifice of Isaac" is a renowned bronze panel created by the Italian artist Lorenzo Ghiberti (1378–1455). This masterpiece of early Renaissance art was crafted between 1401 and 1402 as Ghiberti's competition entry for the commission to create new doors for the Florence Baptistery, an important religious and cultural landmark. The panel depicts the biblical story of Abraham's near-sacrifice of his son Isaac, a subject that was chosen for the competition held by the Arte di Calimala (Cloth Importers' Guild), which was responsible for the decoration and maintenance of the Baptistery.

Ghiberti's "Sacrifice of Isaac" is celebrated for its innovative use of perspective and the graceful naturalism of its figures, which marked a departure from the more rigid and stylized Gothic tradition. The panel measures 44.5 cm in width and 79.5 cm in height, and it showcases Ghiberti's skill in creating a dynamic composition that combines depth and a sense of movement within the constraints of the panel's shallow relief.

In the competition, Ghiberti's panel was up against another famous rendition of the same subject by Filippo Brunelleschi, among other entries. Ghiberti's work ultimately won the commission, and this success launched his career, leading to the creation of the now-famous doors of the Baptistery, referred to by Michelangelo as the "Gates of Paradise." The original competition panels, including Ghiberti's "Sacrifice of Isaac," are housed in the Museo Nazionale del Bargello in Florence.

The panel is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical importance as a turning point in the evolution of Renaissance art. It reflects the growing interest in the revival of classical forms and the exploration of human emotion and drama, which would come to define the Renaissance aesthetic. Ghiberti's work on the Baptistery doors, beginning with the "Sacrifice of Isaac," would influence generations of artists and establish him as a key figure in the development of Renaissance art in Florence.
