| Brief Description: | Donatello was the greatest sculptor of the early Italian Renaissance.
A pioneer in the use of linear perspective, he also promoted the
revival of Greco-Roman culture and realism in art. Filmed in Florence,
Siena, Venice, Padua, and London, this program reveals the astonishing
variety of his work. Sequences shot in modern day workshops illustrate
the sculptor's amazing range of skills. Three eminent contemporary
sculptors--Elisabeth Frink, Peter Rockwell, and the late Henry
Moore--describe the inspiration they gained from his work. England, 60 |
