2018 - Bertoldo di Giovanni, SCULPTOR al CASEI Medici_ITALIAN _Early Renaissance- ITALIAN sculptor Florence. BERTOLDO di GIOVANNI,-b. ca. 1420, +d. 1491, Poggio a Caiano, Prato,
Tuscany,Italy.
Italian sculptor, pupil and assistant of Donatello; (Bertoldo was a pupil of DONATELLO. He worked
in Donatello's workshop for many years, completing Donatello's unfinished works after his death in 1466, for example the bronze pulpit reliefs from the Life of Christ in the Basilica di San Lorenzo di Firenze in Florence) and
the teacher of MICHELANGELO Buonarroti,
since he was employed by Lorenzo de' Medici, Il Magnifico, as keeper of his sculpture garden,
which was one of the Earliest Modern Academies. There he carved a Battle based on an antique sarcophagus, and probably also made the small bronzes of classical subjects - e.g. Bellerophon, Vienna. This was in the 1480s, and Bertoldo was said to be 'old'; but he is first recorded as Donatello's assistant in 1460, so the date of his birth may be later than c.1420, which is the current guess - he may have been a MEDICI bastard. There are works by him in Florence (Bargello), Modena and Paris (Louvre).
Bertoldo later became head and teacher of the informal Academy for Painters and in particular for Sculptors, which Lorenzo de' MEDICI had founded in his garden. At the same time, Bertoldo was the custodian of the Roman antiquities there. Though Bertoldo was not a major sculptor, some of the most significant sculptors of their time attended this school, such as Michelangelo, Baccio da Montelupo, Giovanni Francesco Rustici and Jacopo Sansovino.
