Vecchietta's grave and even bleak marble niche figures of Sts Peter and Paul on the Loggia della Mercanzia show strong influence of Donatello, the St Paul being based on Donatello's St Mark for Orsanmichele, Florence. The taut play of line in these statues, however, is entirely Vecchietta's own. | |
