Delphi Complete Works of Donatello (Illustrated) Synopsis

The greatest sculptor of the Italian Renaissance, Donatello produced both marble and bronze masterpieces. His revolutionary statues were lauded for their incredible realism, while he also developed his very own form of shallow bas-relief, known as 'schiacciato'.
