Sculptors of the Renaissance

Donato di Niccolo di BettoBardi, known as Donatello, left an indelible mark on the Renaissance and the future of art itself. Donatello shot to fame early on as an apprentice to Lorenzo Ghiberti and eventually became one of the most sought-after artists in Italy for his life-like, highly emotional sculptures.  We shall take a close look at their lives and greatest works, including Donatello’s bronze David, and the beautiful Gates of Paradise on the Florence baptistery by Ghiberti.
