DonateIIo (1386-1466) was one of Europe's greatest scuIptors. His strong portrayal of human character and expressive style make his work as appeaIing today as it was revolutionary in his lifetime. Among the many examples included in this in-depth study of DonateIIo's achievements is a beautiful terra-cotta reIief of the Madonna and ChiId. Neglected for many years, its quaIity was at last reveaIed during the fiIming of this documentary. It is only one of the many sculptures which can definiteIy be attributed to the artist.
Three acclaimed modern sculptors who admire his work, EIisabeth Frink, Peter RockwelI and Henry Moore, describe the superb effects achieved by DonateIIo's individual inventive techniques. For the first time since recent cleaning and restoration, many of his major sculptors can now be seen in aII the brilliance of their color and detaiI. |
