The two finalists were Lorenzo Ghiberti and Filippo Brunelleschi; both entries, illustrating the Sacrifice of Isaac, are extant. Ghiberti won the competition and was commissioned in 1403 to design doors with New Testament scenes. Installed in 1424 on the east side, these followed the scheme of the earlier doors, having twenty narratives and eight seated figures within quatrefoils. The enframing lattice is considerably richer than that of Pisano's doors, and the compositions are more closely coordinated with the quatrefoils. In 1425 Ghiberti received the commission for the final set of doors. The Gothic quatrefoil and the distinction between the dark background and the gilt figures were this time abandoned; in contrast, the new doors had ten large, squarish, totally gilded reliefs, each containing several related Old Testament episodes. Through gilding, the use of Albertian perspective and gradation of relief (diminishing as forms recede), Ghiberti achieved a convincing illusion of spatial depth and narrative continuity. The doors (completed 1452) made such a strong impression on the artist's contemporaries that his earlier set was transferred to the north entrance and the new doors were installed on the east facade, facing the cathedral. According to Vasari, Michelangelo, in a play on the word paradiso (the area between a baptistery and a cathedral facade), claimed that Ghiberti's doors were worthy to be the Gates of Paradise.
