Donatello
David, bronze sculpture by Donatello, early 15th century; in the Bargello Museum, Florence.
Only two reliefs were executed for the pair of bronze doors Donatello began for the Siena Cathedral in the late 1450s before the project was abandoned around 1460. One of these surviving panels is likely the Lamentation relief, which is currently held in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.1
