Saint+Steven

** By Lorenzo Ghiberti
 * __Saint Steven__**

** This sculpture was the third and final sculpture Ghiberti completed for the niches on the outside of the Orsanmichele building in Florence. It was completed in 1428, at the request of the Wool Guild. It sits in a tabernacle Created by Andrea Pisano. In this sculpture, Ghiberti returns to a graceful Gothic style.

This statue is located on the west face of the Orsanmichele building in Florence, Italy. When looking at the building facing east, it is the center statue on this wall. Starting at the Ponte Vecchio, walk north up Via Por Santa Maria. It bends slightly to the left and turns into Via Calimala. Take a right on Via Di’Lamberti and go one and a half blocks. The South wall of Orsanmichele will be on your left.
