The quote "the grandeur of the architecture reflects the dignity of the events shown in the foreground" is attributed to Leon Battista Alberti, who was a prominent architect and theorist during the Renaissance period. Ghiberti was a contemporary of Alberti and would have shared similar ideas about the importance of integrating architecture and sculpture in his works.
