Description and Table of Contents

Description

This work is a short survey of the life and work of Donatello - the greatest sculptor before Michelangelo - who was the most influential individual artist of the 15th century. Nearly every later sculptor, including Michelangelo, and much of later 15th-century painting in Florence and Venice was indebted to him. His heroic style created a new humanism that was a hallmark of the Renaissance.
