Donatello is generally considered one of the greatest sculptors of all time and the founder of modern sculpture. He executed his David, the first nude statue of the Renaissance, about 1430-1435. The nearly life-size bronze image of the biblical hero was also the first statue since classical antiquity to be cast in the round. Its realism marked a departure from the conventions of Gothic sculpture, which mostly produced rigid, columnar figures. This Striking reproduction was cast in bonded Carrara marble and mounted on a marble base by artisans from the legendary Santini Workshop in Italy. Weight 2lbs.
