    In this monumental 50th episode, join me in discussing a likewise monumental artist of the early Renaissance: Donatello.

    This episode examines the landmark works of the Florentine sculptor, taking a close look at his early life, mature works, and cultural impact. Donatello skillfully navigated the practical world of civic sculpture, then became a sought-after court artist in the elite world of early modern Italy. Looking closely at three sculptures in three mediums, this discussion details Donatello's vast innovations towards embedding life and sensation in his figures, an effect that would pulse through the veins of future Renaissance sculpture thanks to his departures from convention.

    Works Discussed:

    David, marble, ca. 1408.
    Saint George, marble, 1415-17.
    Penitent Magdalene, wood, ca. 1430-50.
    Equestrian Monument of Gattamelata, 1453.
    David, bronze, 1440-60.
