Famed for his incredibly sensual sculpture of David--the first freestanding nude male sculpture since antiquity--Donatello (c. 1386-1466) also made reliefs, but was best known for statues in the round.\u003cbr\u003eAccompanying a truly historic exhibition at the Palazzo Strozzi and Museo Nazionale del Bargello in Florence, and featuring a wealth of color plates of the artist's key works, this volume also contextualizes Donatello's innovations by juxtaposing them with masterpieces by other Renaissance masters such as Brunelleschi, Masaccio, Andrea Mantegna, Giovanni Bellini, Raphael and Michelangelo. These revelatory, expert juxtapositions help define Donatello's style: for example, comparison of his \u003ci\u003eMadonna col Bambino\u003c\/i\u003e relief with Giovanni di Pietro da Pisa's \u003ci\u003eMadonna col Bambino\u003c\/i\u003e shows how Donatello eschewed decorative gestures (such as putti, garlands and vases) in favor of a more vital simplification of form.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Marsilio Arte\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/28\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9791254630068\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 456\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.89h x 9.76w x 1.57d","brand":"Donatello","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52750020214965,"sku":"9791254630068","price":55.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/donatello-the-renaissance-9791254630068","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
