This masterpiece of early Renaissance sculpture reflects the transition between <strong>Gothic tradition<\/strong> and the emerging <strong>humanistic ideals<\/strong> of the 15th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-companion-to-donatello-s-david\"><strong>A Companion to Donatello\u2019s David<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Originally, the <strong>Isaiah statue<\/strong> was designed to accompany the <strong>David<\/strong> by <strong>Donatello<\/strong>.
