Berlin - The exhibition is the result of the collaboration between the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, the Palazzo Strozzi Foundation and the Bargello Museums in Florence, which worked on three separate but complementary exhibitions. Florence started with the exhibition “Donatello, il Rinascimento”, open until July 31, followed by Berlin. After the closure of the German exhibition (January 8, 2023), it will be London’s turn. For the first time, the paintings and sculptures hosted in these museums are exhibited together, in a consistent itinerary that accompanies visitors from the youthful years to the maturity and then the old age of the great Florentine master. Ninety masterpieces are exhibited, many of them representing the core of the production of the Italian artist, who lived between 1386 and 1466. Works that have never been admired outside Italy are on display in Berlin, including three important bronzes from the monumental high altar of the Basilica del Santo in Padua and the marble sculpture of David from the Bargello National Museum. The Cultural Institute in Berlin worked alongside the exhibition to organise a number of meetings on various topics: “Donatello’s Originality”, “Piazza della Signoria: a Metaphor of Stone, Forms and Figures”, and “Donatello and the Renaissance”.
