| Description |
Español: El David es una escultura de mármol blanco de 5,17 metros1 de altura y 5572 kilogramos de masa, realizada por Miguel Ángel Buonarroti entre 1501 y 1504 por encargo de la Opera del Duomo de la catedral de Santa María del Fiore de Florencia. La escultura representa al rey David bíblico en el momento previo a enfrentarse con Goliat, y fue acogida como un símbolo de la República de Florencia frente a la hegemonía de sus derrocados dirigentes, los Médici, y la amenaza de los estados adyacentes, especialmente los Estados Pontificios.
El David es una de las obras maestras del Renacimiento según la mayoría de los historiadores, y una de las esculturas más famosas del mundo. Actualmente se encuentra expuesta en la Galería de la Academia de Florencia, aunque hasta 1873 estuvo ubicada en la plaza de la Señoría de la capital toscana; desde entonces en su lugar se erige una copia de la obra a tamaño real realizada también en mármol
English: David (Italian pronunciation: [ˈdaːvid]) is a masterpiece of Renaissance sculpture created between 1501 and 1504 by Michelangelo.
It is a 5.17-metre (17.0 ft)[a] marble statue of a standing male nude. The statue represents the Biblical hero David, a favoured subject in the art of Florence. Originally commissioned as one of a series of statues of prophets to be positioned along the roofline of the east end of Florence Cathedral, the statue was placed instead in a public square, outside the Palazzo della Signoria, the seat of civic government in Florence, where it was unveiled on 8 September 1504. Because of the nature of the hero it represented, the statue soon came to symbolize the defense of civil liberties embodied in the Republic of Florence, an independent city-state threatened on all sides by more powerful rival states and by the hegemony of the Medici family. The eyes of David, with a warning glare, were turned towards Rome. The statue was moved to the Galleria dell'Accademia, Florence, in 1873, and later replaced at the original location by a replica |
