Description
David is a masterpiece of Renaissance sculpture created between 1501 and 1504 by Michelangelo.
It is a 5.17-metre (17.0 ft) marble statue of a standing male nude, located in Florence, Italy.
The sculpture represents the biblical David at the moment in which, the slingshot already holding on the shoulder, he takes up the fight against the giant Goliath, The statue is a favoured subject in the art of Florence. Originally commissioned as one of a series of statues of prophets to be positioned along the roofline of the east end of Florence Cathedral, the statue was placed instead in a public square, outside the Palazzo della Signoria, the seat of civic government in Florence, where it was unveiled on 8 September 1504.
The carved from a single block of marble original is since 1873 in the Galleria dell'Accademia in Florence and later replaced at the original location by a replica.
