	Donatello - LoveToKnow 1911
		Brunelleschi's buildings and Donatello's monuments are the supreme expression of the spirit of the early Renaissance in architecture and sculpture and exercised a potent influence upon the painters of that age.
		Donatello probably did not return to Florence before 1405, since the earliest works in that city that can be traced to his chisel are two small statues of " prophets " for the north door of the cathedral, for which he received payment in November 1406 and in the beginning of 1408.
		Donatello's share in the Naples monument is probably confined to the characteristic low relief of the " Ascension." The baptistery tomb shows how completely Donatello had mastered the forms of Renaissance architecture, even before his second visit to Rome.

		The restlessness and commotion of the figures in the last reliefs are carried to a point which, though extreme, is not amenable to all "expressionistic" interpretation in the present sense of the term.
		If Donatello enriched and extended the emotional range of art, he did so in perfect correspondence with the highest culture of his time-even though, at the end of his life, the contorted forms and convulsed expressiveness of his figures seem to look back to a medieval devoutness foreign to the spirit of the Renaissance.

		Donatello was sculpture’s manifestation of this movement: his art embodied humanist notions of freedom and individuality.
		But Donatello did not merely imitate Classical predecessors: his "David" is not captured in the midst of battle, nor is he frozen in a triumphant pose.
		Thus Donatello was both a bold cultural adventuror who went beyond the accepted aesthetics of his day, and a scientifically rigorous inventor grappling with perspective and representation.

	Donatello - Biography and Gallery of Art
		Donato, who was always called Donatello by his friends and relatives, was born in Florence in the year 1383, and produced many works in his youth; but the first thing that caused him to be known was an Annunciation carved in stone for the church of S. Croce in Florence.
		Donatello, seeing it, prayed him by their friendship to speak his mind truly, upon which Filippo, who was frank enough, replied that he seemed to him to have put on the cross a peasant and not Jesus Christ, who was the man most perfect in everything that ever was born.
		To sum up, Donatello was so admirable in knowledge, in judgment, and in the practice of his art that he may be said to have been the first to illustrate the art of sculpture among the moderns; and he deserves the more commendation because in his time few antiquities had been uncovered.

		Early Italian Renaissance sculptors such as Donatello, Ghiberti, Brunelleschi and Verrocchio broke away from late Gothic traditions and embarked on a humanistic exploration of emotions.
		The focus is on Florentine sculptor Donatello (1386-1466), whose early works, like the marble David and a wooden crucifix, take into account the viewer's perspective and create their own space.
		It is Donatello's later statues of figures wracked by powerful emotions-- the glowering, half-crazed Jeremiah or the woodcut Mary Magdalene--that, Poeschke emphasizes, give the lie to any vision of the Renaissance as a seamless monument to classical beauty.
