EXCLUSIVE WEBINAR | “Donatello and Siena: A Stranger in a Strange Land”
Presented by Dr. Rocky Ruggiero

In 1427, Donatello was commissioned by the Opera of the Baptistry of Siena to demonstrate his skill in bronze relief sculpture for the city’s main baptismal font. Other panels for the same font were produced by the celebrated Florentine goldsmith Lorenzo Ghiberti and Siena’s own renowned sculptor Jacopo della Quercia. Ultimately, Donatello’s often-overlooked panel not only outshined the works of the other two sculptors, but it also clearly displays Donatello’s mastery over the rules of linear perspective and over all sculptural media.

The webinar will include a 45-minute lecture followed by 15-minutes of Q&A.
