Donatello
David, bronze sculpture by Donatello, early 15th century; in the Bargello Museum, Florence.
After Donatello died, his twin bronze pulpits for the church of San Lorenzo were left unfinished. They were completed by two bronze specialists who had been associated with him: Bertoldo di Giovanni and Bartolomeo Bellano of Padua.12
Bertoldo di Giovanni, who was a student of Donatello, held major responsibility for the frieze and also executed work on the relief of the entombment.2
