Donatello
Donatello (Donato de Betto di Bardi) (1386 - December 13, 1466) was a famous Florentine artist and sculptor.
His life was described in Giorgio Vasari's "Vite".
but we could use a lot more description here
There is online for free reading an historical novel involving Donatello and centered on the creation of his statue David. The novel is entitled "Donatello's David." http://donatello.0catch.com/Index.htm
