Michelangelo's David: The Icon of Renaissance Perfection

O David de Miguel Ângelo, que se encontra na Galleria dell'Accademia em Florença, é uma das obras de arte mais famosas do mundo e um símbolo do Renascimento italiano. Esta extraordinária estátua de mármore, com mais de 5 metros de altura, representa o jovem herói bíblico num momento de tensão e calma antes da batalha contra Golias. A perfeição anatómica e a expressão determinada de David encarnam o ideal do homem renascentista, no centro do universo e senhor do seu próprio destino.

História

Michelangelo sculpted David between 1501 and 1504, working on a massive block of marble that other artists had abandoned due to its difficulty. Originally commissioned to be placed on the Florence Cathedral, David was considered too extraordinary to be positioned so high. It was therefore placed in Piazza della Signoria, where it remained until 1873, when it was moved to the Galleria dell’Accademia to protect it from the weather. The statue represents the strength and intelligence of the Florentines against the powerful enemies of the time.
