Various of Donatello’s ‘David with the head of Goliath (David of the Case Martelli)’, reworked by unidentified followers, probably 1430-40 • 2. Side view of ‘David’ by an identified maker, a copy of a Donatello sculpture, about 1885 • 3. Various of ‘Donatello: design for a mosaic in the Museum (part of the Kensington Valhalla)’, about 1866, by Richard Redgrave • 4. Various of Donatello’s ‘David’, about 1408-1409, sculpted when the artist was in his early twenties • 5. Wide of sculptures created by Donatello during his time in Padua • 6. Man looking at sculpture • 7. Various of Donatello’s ‘Crucifix’, 1444-49 • 8. SOUNDBITE (English) Peta Motture, lead curator: • What's so very special about Donatello was that he was able to combine the different styles, if you like, from the recent past with the new interest in the classical past to create his own distinctive approach to sculpture. He had such an insight into the human being, into the human psyche, into human emotions. And that really comes through in his sculpture, regardless of what material he's using. And he uses a vast range of materials. • • 9. Mid of (left) Donatello’s ‘Crucifixion (Medici Crucifixion)’, about 1453-60 and (right’) ‘Crucifixion’ by Bertoldo di Giovanni, a follower of Donatello, 1470-80 • 10. Various of Donatello’s ‘Crucifixion (Medici Crucifixion)’ • 11. Various of ‘Crucifixion’ by Bertoldo di Giovanni • 12. Various of ‘’God the Father’, between 1416 and 1425, by Beltramino de Zuttis da Rho, a contemporary of Donatello • 13. Various of ‘Virgin and Child’, about 1465, by Filippo Lippi • 14. SOUNDBITE (English) Peta Motture, lead curator: • His impact was enormous. He was really the most important sculptor. And even those that followed, both immediately and in the 16th century, such as Michelangelo and others, were looking back to Donatello and were learning from him. • • 15. Pan to Donatello’s Reliquary bust of San Rossore’, 1422-1425 • 16. Tilt up of bust • 17. Pull focus to bust • 18. Various of Donatello’s ‘Lamentation over the Dead Christ’, about 1455-60 • 19. SOUNDBITE (English) Peta Motture, lead curator: • Well, there's lots of apocryphal stories about the type of person he was. He was a very strong personality. I think he does come across in his work because you can see somehow, for example, in our lamentation relief, the rawness and how he treats his material differently. You can imagine that he had this incredible strong personality himself, and it comes through in the way he treats his figures and the way he, as I said, he understands the human being, as it were, and how humans feel. He somehow puts his own personality into the sculptures. • • 20. Various of Donatello’s ‘Attis-Amorino’, about 1435-40 • 21. Various of ‘St John the Baptist (Martelli Baptist)’, about 1454-57, by Donatello and Desiderio da Settignano • 22. Sculpture of David seen through window • 23. SOUNDBITE (English) Eleonore Dresch, editor-in-chief, Culture Whisper: • I think this exhibition is stunning because you can really relate to the characters and you can see the humanity and what's behind them as opposed to the striking classic figure. • • 24. Various of Donatello’s ‘Virgin and Child (Mellon Madonna)’, about 1420-25 • 25. SOUNDBITE (English) Eleonore Dresch, editor-in-chief, Culture Whisper • • 26.
