About the Item

An impressive and high quality Italian turn of the century white Carrara marble statue of Michelangelo's David. This iconic and world renowned statue is supported on a square mottled marble base with a ground like platform above. Atop the earthly base is David before his battle with Goliath, capturing him in a moment of contemplation and poise. David proudly grasps his slingshot over his left shoulder and a rock in his right hand, which symbolizes his preparation for battle against Goliath. The statue is known for its detailed anatomy and expression, showcasing Michelangelo's deep understanding of the human form. David's confident posture, furrowed brow, and focused gaze convey a sense of inner strength and determination. Michelangelo's work on David not only reflects his skill but also the ideals of the Renaissance, emphasizing humanism and the potential of individual achievement. Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475–1564) was an Italian Renaissance master renowned for his sculptures, paintings, and architecture. His most iconic works include the David, the Pietà, and the Sistine Chapel ceiling. Celebrated for his technical brilliance and profound emotional expression, Michelangelo profoundly shaped Western art.
