More InformationB.B.C. 2 television programme on Florence in early 1400s, with Sir Denys LASDUN commenting on Brunelleschi, Bridget RILEY on Masaccio, and Henry MOORE on Donatello.

In commenting on other Donatello works Moore notes variously his affirmation of life, his energy, use of drapery, heads and hands.
