Donatello: In Tuscany: Itineraries

For the Tuscan tourist, a user-friendly guidebook to the Renaissance sculptor’s masterpieces

Donatello (c. 1386-1466) is one of Western art’s greatest sculptors, the brilliant exponent of a new simplified, elegant form in Renaissance art. Many of Donatello’s most revered masterpieces remain in Tuscany–the region in which he was born–including St. George (1415-17), David (1430-40) and Penitent Magdalene (1455)–a fact that significantly contributes to the region’s status as one of Italy’s top tourist destinations. This publication is part survey, part guidebook, mapping the sculptor’s preserved works throughout Tuscany, organized by location. Published alongside the major touring exhibition–which is set to travel to Berlin and London after Florence–Donatello: In Tuscany distinguishes itself from other publications on the Florentine sculptor by indexing the artwork that is accessible to visitors with up-to-date scholarship and geographical information.
