	NGA - Monumental Sculpture from Renaissance Florence
		Together with Donatello and Ghiberti, Nanni di Banco is one of the artists responsible for introducing a new, more fully realistic, and individually expressive style of sculpture -- a style that occurred most notably at Orsanmichele, where a new generation of monumental and heroic sculptures came into being.
		Nanni di Banco was the son of a stonemason, Antonio di Banco, and probably trained with his father.
		It is a mark of Nanni di Banco's economic and social standing that, in September of 1418, he was selected for major political office as one of the twelve Buonuomini.

		Nanni has been typically viewed as a traditional stonecarver who took up a verbatim archaeology of classical forms in statuary, but lacked an overarching sense of imagination.
		Nanni's sculpture, she maintains, frequently expressed a gravitas of character and physical presence, nuanced by a profound awareness of mortality, whereas his approach to immortality was transcendent in its attempt to link the spiritual concerns of the Florentine city-state with those of the entire Christian cosmos.

		In 1984 the Opificio delle Pietre Dure began to restore all the marble and bronze sculptures in the fourteen niches on the outside of the church of Orsanmichele in Florence; with this year’s restoration of Lorenzo Ghiberti’s bronze statue of Saint Matthew, the project is drawing to a close.

		Nanni was trained by his father, Antonio di Banco, a sculptor who worked with Niccolò d'Arezzo on the Cathedral of Florence.
		It is not surprising, therefore, that Nanni's first important work, a life-size marble statue of the prophet Isaiah, was commissioned for the cathedral.
		The group of figures is bound together by the spatial relation of each to the other and by a kind of mute conversation in which they all seem to be engaged.

		This, and the St Louis of Toulouse, which originally occupied a niche at Or San Michele and is now badly placed at S. Croce, were the first works in bronze which owed their origin to the partnership of Donatello with Michelozzo, who undertook the casting of the models supplied by his senior.

		Matthew (1419–1421), Nanni di Banco's Quattro Santi Coronati (Four Martyred Saints) (c.1409–1416), and Verrocchio's Christ and St. Thomas (1466–1483), were originally created for the exterior of Orsanmichele in Florence, and they represent the highest achievement of 15th-century Florentine sculpture.
		During the Renaissance, Orsanmichele, one of the most important though less well-known Renaissance structures, functioned both as a church and a grain storage and market facility; the Florentine trade guilds chose it as the site for statues of their patron saints.
