An exhibition in Florence until 31st July 2022, celebrates the career and influence of the artist Donatello. It is the largest exhibition ever on Donatello. It spans his almost 60-year career, from his gothic beginnings to expressionist-like work. Considered to be one of the founders of the Italian Renaissance, Donatello inspired a generation of artists including Michelangelo.
There are nearly 130 works of art, of which 50 are from Donatello. They are on display in the Strozzi Palace and Bargello museum of Florence. The Exhibition starts in the Strozzi Palace with his earliest works and continues in the Bargello Museum with his masterpieces, the Bronze David, Marzocco and Saint George.
There is a further special itinerary “Donatello in Tuscany”, which allows visitors to discover Donatello’s works in other parts of Tuscany.
