Product Description
This authorative work captures the expressive force and spiritual depth of works by Donatello in 15th-century Italy. Born in 1386, Donatello came to be a towering figure of Italian renaissance art. His influence pervaded both sculpture and painting throughout the 15th-century and beyond. His statues embody the new image of man concieved by the Italian Humanists, the creators of renaissance scholarship and philosophy. In his sculpture, for the first time since classical antiquity and in striking contrast to medieval art, the human body is rendered as a self-activating, functional organism, and the human personality is endowed with a confidence in its own individual worth. Technically as well as philosophically, Donatello was an innovator, pioneering new techniques in both marble and bronze. John Pope-Hennessy is also the author of the highly acclaimed Cellini (1985)
