Neither easy nor difficult to read. E-text prepared by Suzanne Lybarger, Linda Cantoni, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Donatello" by Lord Balcarres is a scholarly artistic biography written in the early 20th century. The text aims to explore the significance and characteristics of Donatello’s art in relation to his contemporaries and successors, especially focusing on the context of the Renaissance in Italy. It appears to be an important work for understanding the evolution of sculpture during this period and the influence of Donatello's techniques and themes. The opening of the book sets the stage for a discussion of Donatello's life, which remains largely enigmatic due to the scarcity of biographical details. The author explains that, unlike his contemporaries, Donatello left little behind in terms of writings or personal accounts, making his works the primary source for studying his personality and career. Additionally, the segment introduces key events, such as the 1402 competition for the Baptistery Gates, and the context in which Donatello operated, along with an overview of the early influences that shaped his artistic development. It establishes a foundation upon which the subsequent chapters will build a more comprehensive exploration of his works and legacy.
