The ''Bust of Niccolò da Uzzano'' is a seminal work of Renaissance sculpture attributed to the Italian master Donatello (Donato di Niccolò di Betto Bardi). Created circa 1430s, this terracotta bust is one of the earliest known examples of a realistic portrait bust in European art, marking a significant departure from the idealized portraiture of the Gothic period. The subject, Niccolò da Uzzano (1359–1431), was a prominent Florentine statesman and a contemporary of Donatello, whose features are captured with striking naturalism and psychological depth.

The bust is notable for its lifelike representation, showcasing Donatello's mastery of both the human form and the medium of terracotta. It reflects the Renaissance interest in the classical past and individual personality, as well as the emerging humanist philosophy that emphasized the dignity of man. The work is characterized by its detailed rendering of Uzzano's facial features, the textures of his skin and hair, and the intricate depiction of his garments, all of which contribute to the illusion of a living presence.

Measuring 49 cm in height, the ''Bust of Niccolò da Uzzano'' was originally painted to enhance its lifelike appearance, a practice common in Donatello's time. Although the original polychromy has faded over the centuries, the bust retains a remarkable sense of vitality. The work is often compared to classical Roman portraiture, yet it also clearly displays the innovative spirit of the early Renaissance.

The ''Bust of Niccolò da Uzzano'' is held in the collection of the Bargello Museum in Florence, Italy, where it continues to be studied and admired for its historical significance and artistic excellence. As a pioneering work in the genre of portrait sculpture, it not only reflects Donatello's genius but also provides insight into the cultural and political milieu of 15th-century Florence.
