Observe arguably one of the most tremendous sculptures in the world, which represents the pinnacle of Renaissance art. The attention of the masterpiece of Michelangelo, David, is focused in the museum’s central gallery for full appreciation from all angles. Twenty-year-old Michelangelo sculpted David from one single block of fine Carrara marble. Height: 5.17 meters. Subject: Figurative biblical character David, the young shepherd who slew the giant Goliath. It was to this purpose that, in 1504, it emerged as a symbol, or rather “emblem,” of the resistance to Goliath, i.e. tyrannical monarchy, and in effect hence a “good omen” for Florence as the newly elated Republic withdrew from its previous submission to Milan.
