Answer: The main action is on the side, not in the center

Step-by-step explanation:

The competition for the design of the north doors of the Baptistery of Florence, held in 1401, had Filippo Brunelleschi and Lorenzo Ghiberti as the finalists.

Brunelleschi's Entry had a fairly symmetrical composition that mimics the design of the panel itself, with the angel on the left, Abraham on the right, and Isaac in the center. On the other hand, Ghiberti's Entry had an asymmetrical composition that focused on Abraham, placed in the middle, while Isaac is on the right.
