http://afgb.frDonatello is one of the artistic giants of the Renaissance and has been called the greatest sculptor of all time. Outstandingly original and inventive, working in a range of media, he pioneered the new style that emerged in Florence around 1400, transforming the visual language (and the visual landscape) of his native city through a range of sculptures both public and private, including for the Medici. This lecture surveys his career, highlighting Donatello’s versatility and innovation in works made for patrons in Florence, Siena and Padua.

This lecture celebrates the remarkable life and career of British sculptor Barbara Hepworth, tracing her journey from rural Yorkshire to international acclaim. It begins with her early friendship with fellow sculptor Henry Moore and follows her travels across Europe in the 1930s, when she met Picasso and learned to carve marble in Florence. The lecture explores Hepworth’s artistic influences and her commitment to abstraction, showing how landscape, family life and place profoundly shaped her sculpture. It examines key works in stone, plaster and bronze.
