Best Answer

Donatello (born Donato di Niccolò di Betto Bardi) was an early Renaissance sculptor from Florence who created what is believed to be the first free-standing nude statue since classical times. Around 1430, the foremost art patron in the area, Cosimo de Medici, commissioned Donatello to create a bronze sculpture of the biblical King David. The statue that Donatello created from this commission is considered to be his most famous work.
