Donatello crucifix returns to Florence's Santa Croce, and images of Donatello's and Brunelleschi's sculptures.

ANSA reports on the restoration and return of the wooden sculpture at Donatello 'peasant' Christ returns, as well as the clash between Donatello and Filippo Brunelleschi. Regrettably, there are no images yet of the restored work that I can find. The article states that '[d]uring its restoration, art experts found an original polychromic layer which had been painted over.'

It is known as the 'Peasant Christ' because Brunelleschi said to Donatello that he (Donatello) 'had put the body of a peasant on the cross, not the body of Jesus Christ' (quoting Giorgio Vasari) (or a body with the face of a peasant). Whereupon Donatello challenged Brunelleschi to do better.

Images in the rest of the article.
