Unidentified sculptor, circle of Donatello
Bronze
Although long associated with Donatello, the authorship of this bust remains uncertain, as does the sitter's identity. Its form recalls reliquary busts and the classically-inspired medallion on the chest mimics the apertures through which to view relics. The medallion depicts the allegory of the human soul from Plato's Phaedrus, suggesting that this could be an idealised portrait designed to prompt young men to be virtuous.*

Donatello: Sculpting the Renaissance
(11 February - 11 June 2023)
This first major UK exhibition to explore the exceptional talents of the Renaissance master Donatello, arguably the greatest sculptor of all time, presented a fresh vision of the artist and his influence on subsequent generations.
Donatello (about 1386 – 1466) is arguably the greatest Italian Renaissance sculptor. He revolutionised sculpture both through his inventive treatment of imagery, and his mastery of an extraordinary range of materials – including marble and stone, bronze, wood, terracotta and stucco as well as unusual mixed media. He rarely repeated himself, striving for innovation and never quenching his thirst for experimentation.
Born in Florence around 1386, Donatello is one of the most inventive and influential artists of the Renaissance. Throughout a career lasting over 60 years, his extraordinary sculpture was at the heart of the revolution in art and culture taking place in 15th-century Italy.
Always at the cutting edge, Donatello combined the growing interest in ancient Greece and Rome with familiar traditions. He used a wide variety of materials and techniques, creating innovative sculptures to adorn public and private settings. Through exceptional ingenuity and emotional insight, he captured the essence of the human experience in sculptural form and paved the way for sculptors and painters alike.
This exhibition explores Donatello's creativity and unique vision, his workshop practices and collaborations, and his enduring impact on artists across the centuries.

I was approached to photograph portraits for this amazing woman. She had experienced verbal abuse throughout her life and had seen her own boys go through bullying at school. This session was her way of releasing the pain. After talking we chose to add a second set o the session to celebrate the freedom of embracing the truth of who we are, not who the world sometimes shames us into feeling.
