This print captures a pivotal moment in "The Story of Joshua" depicted on the relief panels from the Gates of Paradise, created by the renowned artist Lorenzo Ghiberti. In this particular panel, titled "Joshua instructs the Priests to lead the Israelites across the River Jordan and the Fall of Jericho" we witness an extraordinary scene unfolding. At center stage, Joshua stands tall and authoritative, his outstretched arm pointing towards the dry riverbed of River Jordan. The priests, clad in ornate garments, listen attentively as they prepare to carry out their divine duty: leading the Israelites across this miraculously parted river. Trumpeters announce their arrival with resounding fanfare while elders gather around a tented encampment nearby. The composition exudes a sense of anticipation and reverence as onlookers marvel at this supernatural event about to unfold.

The gilt bronze relief panel comes alive through light and shadow, showcasing Ghiberti's ability to imbue static art with dynamic energy. As viewers gaze upon this remarkable piece, they are transported back in time to witness one chapter within an epic narrative that has captivated generations. It serves as a testament not only to Ghiberti's artistic genius but also to humanity's
