Statue of Donatello at the Uffizi There are 28 statues of famous Florentines around the walls of the Uffizi

---

A Statue of Donatello outside the Uffizi comemorates him as one of the famous and influential Florentines of his era. Donatello was the son of Niccolo di Betto Bardi, who was a member of the Florentine Wool Combers Guild, and was born in Florence, most likely in the year 1386. Donatello was educated in the house of the Martelli family.[1] He apparently received his early artistic training in a goldsmith's workshop, and then worked briefly in the studio of Lorenzo Ghiberti. Donatello's sculptures are considered supreme expressions of the spirit of this era and they exercised a potent influence upon the painters of the age.
