Description
Michelangelo's David Inspired Bronze Miniature Sculpture on Marble Base - 18" x 5"
Acquire a slice of Renaissance heritage with this exquisite bronze reproduction of Michelangelo's David. Crafted between 1501 and 1504, this Renaissance masterpiece portrays the Biblical hero David and remains a prominent subject in Florence's artistic legacy. Originally intended as part of a series of prophet statues adorning Florence Cathedral's east end, the sculpture found its place in a public square near the Palazzo della Signoria, Florence's civic seat. Reflecting the defense of civil liberties embodied in the Florentine Republic, David, representing an independent city-state under constant threat, came to symbolize resistance against powerful rivals and the Medici family's influence. The statue's eyes, conveying a vigilant glare, were directed towards Rome. Executed through the ancient lost-wax casting technique, this relic of art boasts a brown patina finish for preservation. Resting on a variegated black marble base bearing Michelangelo's signature, the sculpture encapsulates the diverse talents of Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni (1475–1564), a master in painting, sculpture, architecture, poetry, and engineering. Renowned as a quintessential Renaissance figure alongside Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo's intricate details and storied legacy make this bronze David replica a genuine Renaissance masterpiece. Embrace the history and artistry of one of the greatest minds in history by adding this piece to your collection today.
