## Commentary

The interior is a rectangular hall, divided into a nave and two aisles by two columns. It contains a hexagonal baptismal font in bronze, marble and vitreous enamel, realized in 1417-1431 by the main sculptors of the time: Donatello, Lorenzo Ghiberti, Giovanni di Turino, Goro di Neroccio and Jacopo della Quercia. The panels of the baptismal font represent the Life of John the Baptist, and include: the &lt;a onclick=&#34;return OpenOther\(&#39;/html/q/quercia/jacopo/4baptism/relief1.html&#39;\)&#34; href=&#34;/html/q/quercia/jacopo/4baptism/relief1.html&#34;&gt;Annunciation to Zacharias&lt;/a&gt; by Jacopo della Quercia; the Birth of John the Baptist by Giovanni di Turino; the Baptist Preaching by Giovanni di Turino; the &lt;a onclick=&#34;return OpenOther\(&#39;/html/g/ghiberti/various/baptism.html&#39;\)&#34; href=&#34;/html/g/ghiberti/various/baptism.html&#34;&gt;Baptism of Christ&lt;/a&gt; by Ghiberti; the &lt;a onclick=&#34;return OpenOther\(&#39;/html/g/ghiberti/various/baptism3.html&#39;\)&#34; href=&#34;/html/g/ghiberti/various/baptism3.html&#34;&gt;Arrest of John the Baptist&lt;/a&gt; by Ghiberti; the &lt;a onclick=&#34;return OpenOther\(&#39;/html/d/donatell/1\_early/siena/1font\_1.html&#39;\)&#34; href=&#34;/html/d/donatell/1\_early/siena/1font\_1.html&#34;&gt;Feast of Herod&lt;/a&gt; by Donatello.
