Wikipedia

  1. Donatello

    Donato di Niccolò di Betto Bardi (c. 1386 – 13 December 1466), better known as Donatello (English: Italian: [donaˈtɛllo]), was a Florentine sculptor of the Renaissance period. Born in Florence, he studied classical sculpture and used this to develop a complete Renaissance style in sculpture. He spent time in other cities, and while there he worked on commissions and taught others; his periods in Rome, Padua, and Siena introduced to other parts of Italy his techniques, developed in the course of a long and productive career. Financed by Cosimo de' Medici, Donatello's David was the first freestanding nude male sculpture since antiquity. He worked with stone, bronze, wood, clay, stucco, and wax, and had several assistants, with four perhaps being a typical number. Although his best-known works mostly were statues in the round, he developed a new, very shallow, type of bas-relief for small works, and a good deal of his output was larger architectural reliefs.

  1. donatello

    Donatello, born Donato di Niccolò di Betto Bardi, was an Italian sculptor from Florence during the early Renaissance period. He was born around 1386 and died in 1466. Known for his work in bas-relief, a form of shallow relief sculpture, Donatello had a major impact on the development of Italian art and the Renaissance style. His famous works include "David" and "Saint Mark". Notably, his sculpture of "David" is regarded as the first unsupported standing work of bronze cast during the Renaissance, and the first freestanding nude male sculpture made since antiquity. Donatello's style was characterized by meticulous detail, lifelike forms, dramatic expressions, and innovative techniques.
