Donatello

Japanese: ドナテロ
Donatello
A representative sculptor of the early Italian Renaissance. His real name was Donato di Niccolo di Betto Bardi. He was mainly active in his native Florence, except for a short stay in Padua. He first studied under Ghiberti and worked on marble sculptures, but around 1420 he moved to bronze and established his own style. One of his representative works, David (c. 1434, Bargello Museum, Florence), is important as a realistic nude statue that had been lost since ancient times. The Equestrian Statue of Gattamelata (1447-1453) in Piazza il Santo in Padua shows a beautiful fusion of realism as a portrait sculpture and idealism as a monumental statue. Other works include Zuccon (Habakkuk) (1427-1435, Florence Cathedral Museum) and Mary Magdalene (late 1450s, same museum).

Japanese:
イタリア初期ルネサンスの代表的彫刻家。本名ドナート・ディ・ニッコロ・ディ・ベット・バルディ。一時パドバに滞在したほかは,おもに生地フィレンツェで活動した。初めギベルティに学び,大理石彫刻を手がけたが,1420年ころからブロンズに移り,独自の作風を確立。代表作の一つ《ダビデ》(1434年ころ,フィレンツェ,バルジェロ美術館蔵)は古代以来途絶えていた写実的な裸体像として重要。パドバのイル・サント広場の《ガッタメラータ騎馬像》(1447年―1453年)は肖像彫刻としての写実性と,記念像としての理想性とのみごとな融合を示す。他に《ズッコーネ(ハバクク)》(1427年―1435年,フィレンツェ大聖堂美術館蔵),《マグダラのマリア》(1450年代後半,同館蔵)など。
