Issued in conjunction with a 2015 exhibition that "offers a close look at the genesis of the early Renaissance in Florence. Focusing on a group of works made in the first half of the fifteenth century for Florence Cathedral (the Duomo), this volume highlights the ingenuity and spirit of competition that drove this multi-faceted project. Sculpture gave expression to new humanist ideas, and Donatello, one of the most influential and versatile sculptors of the Renaissance, was a main innovator. This engaging account places Donatello's major early works alongisde those of his contemporaries -- masters such as Lorenzo Ghiberti, Nanni di Manco, and Luca della Robbia."
