- Notes:
- Donatello's other commission (from Cosimo de' Medici) for the Bargello palace, this time for a fountain in the back garden, was a more easily explicable group, also on an Old Testament theme, Judith Slaying Holofernes (Florence, Piazza della Signoria). It is an allegory of Humility triumphing over Pride, as is known from a lost, but recorded, inscription.
