Vinci , Donatello , Michelangelo , and Masaccio-iconic artists , sculptors , and architects from the High and Late Renaissance . Brunelleschi , when he had hit rock bottom , showed himself and the world he would not give up ; he would keep striving for greatness .
Competition between familiar rivals proved to be an important catalyst of the Renaissance period and is a vital part of the human experience . In its best form , competition inspires individuals and groups to set higher goals and strive for success . Had Brunelleschi won the competition outright , would the Renaissance period and western art and architecture have been as profound as it was ? This period , a time when iconic painters and architects discovered masterful techniques and designed marvelous works was set off by the simple competition between rivals , Filippo Brunelleschi and Lorenzo Ghiberti . Then , a loss at this competition motivated Brunelleschi to reshape himself and seek opportunities that would completely alter the path of his career and history . Both Brunelleschi and Ghiberti ultimately designed timeless gems that would be their legacies and inspire the coming generations of the Italian Renaissance .
