The "Bearded Prophet" is one of the renowned sculptures created by the Italian master Donatello (c. 1386–1466), a preeminent figure of the early Renaissance. This work is part of a series of sculptures that Donatello crafted for the Campanile of Florence Cathedral, also known as Giotto's Bell Tower. The series was commissioned to adorn the exterior of the structure with a set of prophet figures, each designed to embody a blend of humanistic realism and symbolic representation.

Donatello's "Bearded Prophet" is a striking example of the artist's innovative approach to sculpture. The figure is characterized by its expressive realism and the intricate detail of the prophet's facial features, particularly the flowing beard that gives the sculpture its name. The work reflects Donatello's mastery of the principles of perspective and volume, which he applied to create a sense of depth and three-dimensionality that was revolutionary for the time.

The sculpture is believed to have been created in the 1430s or 1440s, during a period when Donatello was actively experimenting with the portrayal of human emotion and psychological depth in his works. The "Bearded Prophet" stands out for its dynamic posture and the sense of inner life that seems to animate the figure, a testament to Donatello's skill in capturing the essence of the human spirit.

Today, the "Bearded Prophet" remains an important example of Donatello's contribution to Renaissance art and his influence on the development of sculptural technique. The original sculpture can be found in the Museo dell'Opera del Duomo in Florence, Italy, where it is displayed alongside other original works from the Campanile, allowing visitors to appreciate the artistic legacy of Donatello and the enduring impact of his work on the history of art.
