Freely give two pounds over for a Renaissance man (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

donatello

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'freely give two' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'pounds over for a renaissance man' is the wordplay.
'pounds' becomes 'LL' (two L's - the pound symbol is based on L).
'over' becomes 'o' (cricket abbreviation).
'for' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'a renaissance man' becomes 'donate' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'll'+'o'='llo'
'llo' after 'donate' is 'DONATELLO'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for donatello that I've seen before include "Italian artist" , "Chipper" , "Italian sculptor" , "C 15 Florentine sculptor" , "Famous Florentine sculptor" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
