He apprenticed with prominent Florentine sculptor Lorenzo Ghiberti

His first major work was the marble David

Donatello invented his own mode of relief known as schiacciato Stiacciato is an extremely subtle type of flat, low relief carving where the plane is only very slightly lower than the sculpted elements creating the illusion of depth and figures moving in space.

He collaborated with Michelozzo to produce architectural-sculptural tombs

Donatello’s most famous work is his bronze statue of David

His Equestrian statue of Gattamelata is regarded the forefather of all such works(shown below)]]> 2017-12-11 21:23:39 UTC https://padlet.com/t_ekundayo17/796bfiblvxdd/wish/215228388
