I enjoy the piece made by Andrea Pisano called Life of John The Baptist. The image is of the south doors of the Baptistry of San Gilovanni, in Florence. There are twenty panels of art on these two door made of copper, paint and carved wood. The art piece puts off a vibe of fancy and expensive with the quality of the copper inlay. The piece also gives a sign of holiness and importance towards the life of John the Baptist and Christianity.

Demons Tormenting St. Anthony
This is a finely detailed piece of artwork by Martin Schongauer. The piece "Demons Tormenting St. Anthony," is such an eye catcher to me how he engraved such detailed characters on a piece of metal then did prints of it. This piece of art doesn't even look like a print because of all of the detail, it looks like a pencil drawing that took many days to finish. The demons that are attacking St. Anthony are fictional characters that are so well detailed you can actually imagine them being real. In a sense these demons were probably actually real in a mental aspect to St. Anthony.
