The artist presented his relief of the Deposition to Charles V at Genoa in 1529 ; though the relief has been lost, a bronze from it by Antonio Susini in 1600 ( Musée du Louvre ) shows the decisive inspiration of Donatello's emotional pitch and intensity ; Bandinelli made several drawings of the Donatello reliefs, though later in life he disparaged them in a letter to Cosimo I de ' Medici.

One of those statues had been made by Donatello in 1410, a figure of Joshua made of terracotta, and a second, also a terracotta, but this time of Hercules, was commissioned from the Florentine sculptor Agostino di Duccio in 1463 ; scholars suggest that Agostino was working under Donatello's direction.

He is, in part, known for his work in bas-relief, a form of shallow relief sculpture that, in Donatello's case, incorporated significant 15th-century developments in perspectival illusionism.

Brunelleschi's buildings and Donatello's sculptures are both considered supreme expressions of the spirit of this era in architecture and sculpture, and they exercised a potent influence upon the artists of the age.

His work displays true understanding for the crystalline luminosity of marble and how a gently polished and modulated surface could produce an inner glow and how Donatello's famed rilievo schiacciato could be further refined to convey a sense of light softly diffused by its passage through atmosphere.

The marble David is Donatello's earliest known important commission, and it is a work closely tied to tradition, giving few signs of the innovative approach to representation that the artist would develop as he matured.

A second is to suggest that the work refers to homosocial values in Florentine society without expressing Donatello's personal tendencies.

A third interpretation is that David represents Donatello's effort to create a unique version of the male nude, to exercise artistic license rather than copy the classical models that had thus far been the sources for the depiction of the male nude in Renaissance art.

Donatello's Gattamelata is the first lifesize equestrian statue in bronze since antiquity ; other medieval examples are in stone or wood.
