Own a piece of Renaissance history with this superb bronze replica of Michelangelo's David. 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 roof line 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 the defense of 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 tackled 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.
