(Frontpage) (Thumbnail Index)

Donatello's St. John the Baptist in Juxtaposition with Sargent's Sargent has sketched these with such brevity and force. In just a finite number of lines he has caught the essence and energy of Donatello's work.

The question is: are there more than one sculpture of Donatello's "Saint John"? Both of Sargent's sketches show different hand and arm placements.
