Donatello
Donato di Niccolò di Betto Bardi (circa 1386 – December 13, 1466)
Donatello was born in 1386 in Florence, Italy. In Florence Donatello learned the basics of sculpting at the Stonemasons' Guild,
In 1403, at the age of seventeen,Donatello was working for the master on the bronze reliefs (sculpting from a flat surface) of the doors of the Florentine Baptistery.

One of Donatello's earliest known works is the life-sized marble David (1408; reworked in 1416; now in the Bargello, Florence)

Donatello produced a strong and original style in two works: the large marble figure St. Mark on the outside of Orsanmichele, completedbetween 1411 and 1413; and the seated St. John the Evangelist for the facade (front) of the Cathedral (now in the Museo dell'Opera), finished in 1415. These powerful, over-life-sized figures established the sculptor's reputation. The St. Mark broke with tradition in its classical stance and became a stunning symbolic portrait of a noble Florentine hero in the republic of Donatello's day.

Much ofDonatello's later work demonstrates his understanding of classical art.
