Donatello Losito was an Italian-German painter, graphic artist and object artist. 1955-1958 he trained as a plasterer and restorer. Traveling through France and Italy in 1959/1960, he created his first works in oil and watercolor. Initially he worked as a freelance graphic artist, later he devoted himself entirely to painting. He held solo exhibitions and participated in numerous exhibitions. His main artistic work was created during these years. In 1972, the art critic Helmut Kotschenreuther wrote about the first major solo exhibition: "Losito has an eye sharpened by sensitivity for the grotesque, the comical, the uncanny, the inhumane in our desolate world and at the same time the ability to present the most concise, the "impacting" to find a pictorial formula”.

Donato di Niccolò di Betto Bardi, better known as Donatello, sculptor of the Renaissance period. Born in Florence, he studied classical sculpture and used this to develop a complete Renaissance style in sculpture. He spent time in other cities, and while there he worked on commissions and taught others; his periods in Rome, Padua, and Siena introduced to other parts of Italy his techniques, developed in the course of a long and productive career. Financed by Cosimo de' Medici, Donatello's David was the first freestanding nude male sculpture since antiquity.
He worked with stone, bronze, wood, clay, stucco, and wax, and had several assistants, with four perhaps being a typical number. Although his best-known works mostly were statues in the round, he developed a new, very shallow, type of bas-relief for small works, and a good deal of his output was larger architectural reliefs.
