The Donatello Enigma
The 15th-century Florentine sculptor Donatello is the most out of focus of famous artists. The more we learn about him, it seems, the less clear we are about who he was and why he mattered—even if everyone agrees that he mattered very much. Today, a massive exhibition devoted to Donatello, the first in 40 years, opens in Florence’s Palazzo Strozzi. The renowned specialist Francesco Caglioti has brought together 130 works from the artist’s 50-year career as well as from some of his emulators, aiming to give us not only a comprehensive view but something closer to a unified vision of Donatello and his importance for the art that followed him. READ ON
Donatello’s David, circa 1435–40, is the centerpiece of a new show at the Palazzo Strozzi, in Florence.
