Episode 110 - Padua: Donatello's "Gattamelata" and Statues in the Santo
Rebuilding The Renaissance - A podcast by Rocky Ruggiero - Wednesdays
This episode explores Donatello's extraordinary artistic production during his sojourn in Padua during the 1440s. From his milestone Equestrian Monument to Gattamelata, to his refined bronze Crucifix, to his 3-dimensional sculptural sacra conversazione and complex perspectival bronze relief sculptures adorning the high altar of the basilica, Donatello once again demonstrates his almost unlimited and unparalleled range of artistic expression.
