About the Item

Beautiful bronze sculpture cast with the lost wax technique, depicting the young David standing with his sword raised, symbol of his victory over the giant Goliath, whose suffering head is represented on the green marble base. With a victorious expression and a proud and elegant bearing, David stands triumphant over the defeated enemy, with a decisive gesture of his right arm and a gaze turned toward the left. His body, inclined slightly to the right, creates a dynamism that involves the viewer from every angle. This small-scale replica of the famous Verrocchio sculpture exhibited at the Bargello Museum in Florence was created by a Florentine foundry at the end of the 19th century.
