    This issue marks the 550th anniversary of the death of the Italian sculptor, Donatello.
    Born Donato di Niccolo di Betto Bardi, Donatello (1386-1466) ranks as the father of Florentine Renaissance and is second only to Michelangelo in terms of skill and sheer greatness. He left an indelible mark on the Renaissance and the future of art itself. Donatello shot to fame early on as an apprentice to Lorenzo Ghiberti and eventually became one of the most sought-after artists in Italy for his life-like, highly emotional sculptures. During his lifetime, Donatello completed some of the most well-known sculptures in Western art including David, Mary Magdalen and the compelling Gattamaleta. He dedicated his life to serving the church and the Medici family and today his works can be found in prestigious art museums and galleries throughout Europe.
    The reverse shows the head of Donatello’s David as a detail from the bronze sculpture on display in the National Museum of Bargello, Florence. The obverse carries the standard 2 euro design.
