Lo Zuccone (Italian pronunciation:
The statue is known for its
naturalism, which differed from most statuary commissioned at the time.[3] Zuccone is reported to have been Donatello's favorite, and he has been claimed to swear by the sculpture, "By the faith I place in my zuccone."[2][4] Donatello is said to have shouted "speak, damn you, speak!" at the marble as he was carving it.[2][5] It has been described as the most important marble sculpture of the fifteenth century.[5] It is now in the Museo dell'Opera del Duomo
in Florence.
