Bernini

I chose Bernini's sculpture of David because of the differences in his vs. Michelangelo. In Berninis, David appears in the midst of the battle against Goliath, whereas Michelangelo's doesn't include the fight or Goliath. Here Bernini portrays a lifesize David with clothes and in battle. This is different from Michelangelo's, because in his, he created the David with more of a serious face, and without any clothes. Both variations of the David are made out of marble. Today this sculpture remains in Rome.
