Renaissance sculpture
David's art form
Renaissance sculpture refers to three-dimensional artwork produced in Europe, primarily Italy, from roughly the 14th through 16th centuries, marked by a revival of classical Greek and Roman ideals.
Artists like Donatello and Michelangelo emphasized naturalistic human anatomy, contrapposto stance, and individual expression—departing from the stylized forms of medieval art.
The term appears in art history courses and museum contexts: The gallery's Renaissance sculpture collection includes several marble pieces from Florence.
- DonatelloQuattrocento Florentine sculptor
