| Description |
English: The last statue Donatello carved for the Campanile was the prophet Habakkuk. This prophet, looking at the people below him from his recess, comes across as less threatening than Jeremiah. One arm is naked and his right hand is in a loop that runs over the hip. The heavy mantle on the left side is a counterbalance to the somewhat fragile other side of the body. The large bald head of Habakkuk looks a lot like a pumpkin [It: zucca is pumpkin or dunce] hence the nickname Zuccone. The tendons in the neck run to the skull and are extremely realistic. The prophet’s lips are slightly open as if he were making his prophecy with an almost manic expression. |
