San Ludovico di Tolosa

As I mentioned in my last post, I got to see an amazing exhibition at Palazzo Strozzi in Florence.

The show was consisted of Renaissance Sculptures in the early and mid 15th century. The exhibition was very well put together and the sculptures were all impressive.

I have to say my favorites were Saint Matthew by Ghiberti for Oraanmichele, Donatello's horse head sculpture for the king of Naples, and lastly this Donatello sculpture also for Orsanmichele:


This is Donatello's San Ludovico di Tolosa (1422) which is a bronze sculpture gilded in gold with jewels.

If you happen to be in Florence in the next month do yourself a favor and go see this exhibition.
