Florentine sculptor, 1386 - 1466

	"Over the door to Santa Croce there is still to be seen a St Louis, standing ten feet high, made by Donatello in bronze. Someone told Donatello that he had bungled this statue and that it was perhaps the worst he had ever done, and he retorted that he had done it deliberately, since the saint himself had bungled when he abandoned a kingdom for a monastery." I-184 St Louis
	"Duke Cosimo has from Donatello's hand a Crucifixion, so beautiful it seems miraculous, which he keeps in his studio along with innumerable rare antiquities and beautiful medals." I-184 Crucifixion, bronze panel
	"In the house of Giovanbattista d'Agnol Doni, a Florentine nobleman, there is a bronze Mercury by Donatello, standing three feet high in full relief and clothed in a curious fashion, which is extremely attractive and no less outstanding than the other works which adorn that beautiful house." I-185 Amor-Atys
	In his life of Ghiberti, Vasari mentions that "Donatello had made some bronze scenes and figures to adorn the baptismal font of the church of San Giovanni for the Signoria of Siena." I-113 The Feast of Herod, Baptismal font, Baptistery, Siena
