Donatello, Renaissance Genius

by Paula Nuttal

Dear Members and Guests,

We invite you to join us for the sixth lecture of the season given by Paula Nuttal on ‘Donatello, Renaissance Genius​’ in the Atrium on Tuesday 11th February 2025 at 20.00 hours.

PLEASE Note that this will be in our NEW LOCATION, the Atrium of the Pastoral Centre of the Church of Our Saviour in The Hague [Helenastraat 8, 2595 HA, The Hague].

Donatello’s creativity and versatility knew no bounds, whether expressing character and emotion, telling a dramatic story, exploring the depiction of space, or exploiting the potential of a hugely diverse range of media.  This lecture, complementing the V&A exhibition ‘Donatello:  Sculpting the Renaissance’, looks at a selection of his masterpieces including the bronze ‘David’, the ‘Judith and Holofernes’ and the ‘St George’.

This will be a live lecture with the lecturer physically present in the Atrium.  We are hoping that members and Guests will take the opportunity to come to the Atrium.  

For those unable to be present at the Atrium, this lecture will also be streamed via a Zoom Webinar to those who registered.

You are requested to sign up for the lecture beforehand, also if you are coming to join us in person at the Atrium, by clicking on the sentence at the 'How to book' section.
