Donatello, born in Florence, studied under Ghiberti when he was young. He was the first generation artist of the early Italian Renaissance and the most outstanding sculptor of the 15th century. During his lifetime, he created a large number of vibrant, solemn and calm sculptures.
Statue of Donatello
San Marco
St. George
The bronze statue "David" is an important representative work of Donatello's artistic maturity and is now in the Bargello National Gallery in Florence. Donatello uses the corresponding composition method created by the ancient Greeks to show people the image of a young man with very accurate proportions and structure. The entire body posture is relaxed, natural, elegant and confident, presenting a vivid, flesh-and-blood life. As the first nude sculpture in the round since the Middle Ages, "David" has epoch-making significance.
Donatello's most famous works are mostly statues and reliefs on large buildings. At the same time, he also had many unique attempts and creations, such as the invention of a new, very shallow bas-relief, which had an impact on that time and later generations. Extremely significant.
The keys given by Christ to St. Peter
The bas-relief of "Saint George Slaying the Dragon" carved on the base of "Saint George" is the earliest attempt. The surface of the carving is very shallow, but through the subtle undulations of the relief surface to control the contrast of light and shadow, it can show the effect of painting with a chisel. Amazing depth and varied layering.
