The sculptor considered the best of the early Renaissance is Donatello.
Donatello was one of the creators of the Renaissance style and one of the greatest artist of the Renaissance.
Donatello stood out in an innovative force in the field of monumental sculpture and in the treatment of the reliefs, where he managed to represent a great depth within a minimum plane, being called with the name of stiacciato, that is to say, flattened or squashed relief.
Among his most important works are The Bronze David in the Bargello Museum, the Exterior Pulpit of the Prato Cathedral, the Equestrian Statue of Gattamelata in Padua, the Penintent Mary Magdalene in the Museo Dell Opera del Duomo in Florence and Judith and Holofernes at the Vecchio Palace.
