Arguably the greatest sculptor of all time, Donatello (c.1386-1466)
was at the vanguard of a revolution in sculptural practice in the
early Renaissance. Combining ideas from classical and medieval
sculpture to create innovative sculptural forms, Donatello had an
unparalleled ability to portray emotions in works intended to
inspire spiritual devotion. Pieces such as the penitent St Mary
Magdalene and the bronze of David remain deeply affecting to
audiences today. Working in marble, bronze, wood, terracotta and
stucco, he contributed to major commissions of church and state;
was an intimate of the Medici family and their circle in Florence,
and highly sought after in other Italian cities. This book,
specially commissioned to accompany the 2023 exhibition at the
V&A, explores Donatello's extraordinary creativity within the
vibrant artistic and cultural context of fifteenth-century Italy,
surveying his early connection with goldsmiths' work and the
collaborative nature of his workshop and processes. It also
reflects on Donatello's legacy, reviewing how his sculpture
inspired subsequent generations in the later Renaissance and
beyond.
