Bertoldo di Giovanni

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Bertoldo di Giovanni (bārtôl`dō dē jōvän`nē), c.1420–91, Italian sculptor. A pupil and assistant to Donatello and later the teacher of Michelangelo, Bertoldo was employed by the Medici to supervise instruction in sculpture and care for their collection of antique sculpture. His own works, often small bronzes, include battle scenes and mythological episodes (e.g., Orpheus, Bargello, Florence).

It was a pet theory of Middeldorf's that the sculptor Bertoldo di Giovanni was the illegitimate child of Giovanni de' Medici: he would certainly have been pleased with the discovery, announced in this volume (and published in full in the Institut's Mitteilungen in an article Boninger coauthored with Luca Boschetto), that Bertoldo was instead a German.
The author discusses Lorenzo's principal sources of inspiration, including family tradition, trips taken to Italian courts, ancient and modern literature, and, most strikingly, relationships initiated in early youth with architects, engineers, and artisans, including masters like Giuliano da Maiano and Bertoldo di Giovanni.
