Guided tours for universities – Donatello For universities and academies of art

Donatello, the Renaissance is a historic, once-in-a-lifetime exhibition which sets out to reconstruct the astonishing career of one of the most important and influential masters of Italian art of any era, juxtaposing his work with masterpieces by artists such as Brunelleschi, Masaccio, Andrea Mantegna, Giovanni Bellini, Raphael and Michelangelo.

The tour of the exhibition devised for university and academy of art students unfolds among a selection of exhibits, offering the students in considerable depth.

Starting with his early work for Florence Cathedral and continuing right on up to the bronzes he fashioned in his mature years, the tour addresses public and private commissions and examines the influence of the great Renaissance master’s work both on his immediate pupils and on later generations of artists.

Tours are structured for groups of up to 20 people plus the guide. Wireless whisper systems must be used: groups may use their own system or order one when booking the tour. The date and time slot of the tour must be reserved in advance. To ensure the tour takes place in a safe and healthy environment, please consult our webpage Open in safety.
