Donatello simply revived the technique of casting bronze into free standing statues. The art of casting bronze was known in many cultures during the Bronze Age, roughly c.2800 to c.1050 BC.

What types of materials were used for sculpting before Donatello invented the bronze technique?

Donatello (b 1386 or 1387; d Florence, 13 Dec 1466) did not invent the technique for casting bronze. He was however the first sculptor since antiquity to revive the use of bronze casting to create free standing figures. He is also considered to be the father of modern sculpture. The art of casting bronze has been used since Sumerian times. Also used in Egypt, where it is believed the Greeks learned the technique in the 6th century BC. Greek statues 'The Riace Bronzes, Warrior Figures' date around 460-450 BC. Marble has long been the choice of material for sculptors, from the ancient Greeks up to the present.
