Which technique was not typical of Donatello's work?

  • Architectural reliefs

  • Freestanding sculptures

  • Color painting

  • Madonna and Childs

Answer

Color painting was not typical of Donatello's work. He primarily focused on sculpting in bronze, marble, and wood, emphasizing form and texture rather than color. His sculptures often depicted religious figures, mythological characters, and portraits, capturing the human form with great detail and realism. Donatello's innovative techniques and expressive style set him apart from his contemporaries and made him one of the most influential sculptors of the Renaissance.
