Answer
**Foreshortening.** In his bronze panels, Ghiberti used a variety of techniques to create the illusion of depth, including foreshortening, which involves depicting objects as shorter than they actually are to create the appearance of distance or perspective. This technique was particularly effective in creating the illusion of three-dimensional space within the limited confines of the rectangular panels.
