The [bronze](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/bronze/) panel showing [Abraham](https://www.worldhistory.org/Abraham,_the_Patriarch/)'s sacrifice of Isaac by the Italian Renaissance artist and architect [Filippo Brunelleschi](https://www.worldhistory.org/Filippo_Brunelleschi/) (1377-1446 CE). The panel was created in 1401 CE as a trial piece for the competition to see who would receive the commission for the bronze doors of Florence's Baptistery. Brunelleschi lost to [Lorenzo Ghiberti](https://www.worldhistory.org/Lorenzo_Ghiberti/). (Bargello, Florence)
