Created between 1501 and 1504, this masterpiece of Renaissance sculpture depicts the biblical hero David and is a favorite subject in Florentine art. Originally commissioned as one of a series of prophet statues to be positioned along the roofline of the east end of the Florence Cathedral, the statue was instead placed in a public square outside the Palazzo della Signoria, the seat of civic government in Florence.

Due to the nature of the hero it represents, the statue quickly became a symbol of defending the civil liberties embodied by the Florentine Republic. An independent city-state threatened on all sides by more powerful rival states and the hegemony of the Medici family. David's eyes, with a warning gaze, were turned towards Rome. Made using the ancient lost-wax casting method, this relic artwork has been tinted with a brown patina finish for preservation. David stands on a variegated black marble base bearing the signature of the artist Michelangelo.

Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni (March 6, 1475 - February 18, 1564) was a master of many trades, including painting, sculpture, architecture, poetry, and engineering. His versatility in the disciplines he undertook was such that he is often considered a contender for the title of archetypal Renaissance man, alongside his fellow Italian Leonardo da Vinci. With its intricate details and rich history, this bronze replica of Michelangelo's David is a true masterpiece of Renaissance art. Add it to your collection today and discover the legacy of one of the greatest artists of all time.
