Donatello’s creativity and versatility knew no bounds, whether expressing character and emotion, telling a dramatic story, exploring the depiction of space or exploiting the potential of a hugely diverse range of media. This lecture, complementing the V&A exhibition Donatello: Sculpting the Renaissance, looks at a selection of his masterpieces including the bronze David, the Judith and Holofernes and the St George.
