Donatello exhibition at London's V&A showcases Renaissance masterpieces never before seen in the UK
The Victoria and Albert Museum in London is hosting a major new exhibition called Donatello: Sculpting the Renaissance, showcasing the work of Renaissance master Donatello.
This Day in History:, William Shakespeare Is Born.
April 23, 1564.
The most-performed dramatist of all-time
was most likely born on this day
in Stratford-upon-Avon, England.
Little is known about Shakespeare's early years,
mainly because of his unremarkable living situation.
He would have studied Latin and
the classics in grammar school, but
Shakespeare received no university education.
Instead, he married Anne Hathaway
at the age of 18, who gave birth to
their first child six months later.
Shakespeare emerged as a playwright
of note in London in the 1590s.
Over the next twenty years, he would pen some of the most
significant works of the English language, including
'Hamlet,' 'Romeo and Juliet' and 'King Lear.'.
Shakespeare died in
the place of his birth,
on the day he is thought
to have been born, in 1616
