Donatello's full name is Donatello di Niccolò di Betto Bardi. He was an Italian Renaissance sculptor from Florence, renowned for his work in bas-relief and his innovative use of perspective. His most famous sculptures include "David" and "Saint George." Donatello's contributions significantly influenced the development of sculpture in Western art.
Yes he was.
Ghiberti started creating his first set of doors for the baptistry in Florence in 1403. We know that during this work (which lasted until 1424) Donatello and quite a few other Florentine artists assisted him. Donatello was born in 1386, so when work on the doors was started, Donatello was 17. It is not known, though, at what point Donatello joined the work force.
Lorenzo Ghiberti, Florence.
Lorenzo Ghiberti and Donatello.
Donatello was apprenticed by Lorenzo Ghiberti in Florance, Italy.
He apparently received his early artistic training in a goldsmith's workshop, and then worked briefly in the studio of Lorenzo Ghiberti.
Two fasmous friends, who were also his rivals were Brunelleschi and Donatello.
Lorenzo Ghiberti worked on the baptistry doors of the Florence Cathedral, also known as the Gates of Paradise, between 1425 and 1452. These doors are considered a masterpiece of Renaissance sculpture.

He apparently received his early artistic training in a goldsmith's workshop, and then worked briefly in the studio of Lorenzo Ghiberti. While undertaking study and excavations with Filippo Brunelleschi in Rome (1404-1407), work that gained the two men the reputation of treasure seekers, Donatello made a living by working at goldsmiths' shops.

Ghiberti worked on his first set of doors 1403 - 1424 and the second (La Porta del Paradiso) 1425 - 1452. Since there was a set of doors by Andrea Pisano, finished in 1336, the ones by Ghiberti were the second and the third sets, thus enriching the Baptistry with beautifully sculpted doors in all the doorways.
He never actually studied properly but he worked with a number of artists and sculptors in Florence and also worked in a goldsmith's shop for most of his younger life.
