Biography Original Sculpture of David
Following is the biography regarding the original sculpture.
.JPG)
The original David is a masterpiece of Renaissance sculpture sculpted by Michelangelo from 1501 to 1504. The original statue stands 5.17 meters (13 ft) High.
[1] The marble statue portrays the Biblical King David in the nude. Unlike previous depictions of David, which portray the hero after his victory over Goliath, chose to represent David before the fight contemplating the battle yet to come.
[2] It came to symbolize the defense of civil liberties embodied in the Florentine Republic, an independent city state threatened on all sides by more powerful rival states and by the hegemony of the Medici themselves. This interpretation was also encouraged by the original setting of the sculpture outside the Palazzo Della Signoria, the seat of civic government in Florence. The completed sculpture was unveiled on 8 September 1504.
