Michelangelo The David

I chose The David by Michelangelo because of its beauty and significance it holds to Florence. David's glare and the way he expresses himself is special because it holds a certain degree of confidence. The sculpture of David seems the most proportional out of all the sculpture figures we have seen. The only thing that seems different is David's ankles, which were actually reconstructed. He originally started The David in 1464 and was open to the public in 1503. It was originally placed outside the Piazza, but now remains safely in the Accedmia in Florence Italy. This piece held a certain degree of honor to Florence from its symbolism of the story from David and Goliath relating to Florence and Rome, and the art Michelangelo produced.
