After buying new spaces, two years ago the museum started a renovation process which meant a limited access for several months, and then one full year of closing. At 9:00 AM there were at least 60-70 people waiting in line to see this brand new wonder in Florence, and I was with them. Come on, I thought, this is going to become like the Uffizi.

donatello's david

David, the prophet of the Old Testament, has always been considered a symbol for Florence because of his story, a triumph of intelligence over the brute force of Goliath, the giant. Many artists have represented David in history, including Donatello: he even did this twice. When speaking of Donatello's David we must distinguish between the marble statue and the bronze statue, much more famous. Both statues are on display at the Bargello museum. Today we are going to analyze the bronze David. … [Read more...] about Donatello’s David – The bronze statue
