Born in Florence, probably in 1386, his real name was Donato di Niccolo di Betto Bardi. He was given the nickname “Donatello” by his family at a young age. His father, Niccolo di Betto Bardi, was no artist, but was a successful member of the Florentine Wool Combers Guild.
All these works can now be seen in the Opera del Duomo Museum. Around 1430, Cosimo de’ Medici commissioned from Donatello one of his most famous works: the bronze David for the courtyard of his Palazzo Medici (now at the Bargello Museum).
Author of The Sculpture of Donatello; History of Art. Donatello, original name in full Donato di Niccolò di Betto Bardi, (born c. 1386, Florence [Italy]—died December 13, 1466, Florence), master of sculpture in both marble and bronze, one of the greatest of all Italian Renaissance artists. Why is Donatello so famous?
In 1443, when Donatello was about to start work on two much more ambitious pairs of bronze doors for the sacristies of the cathedral, he was lured to Padua by a commission for a bronze equestrian statue of a famous Venetian condottiere, Erasmo da Narmi, popularly called Gattamelata (“The Honeyed Cat”), who had died shortly before.
Donato di Niccolò di Betto Bardi, best known simply as Donatello, is one of the most important Italian sculptors of all time and one of the fathers of the Florentine Renaissance. Let’s find out about Donatello life, facts, curiosities and art.
