MICHELANGELO Buonarroti: David/Apollo

🖼 David/Apollo, 1530
Marble, height 146 cm
Florence, Italy

Marble captures a nude youth in contrapposto stance, weight shifted, musculature rendered with anatomical precision. His gaze suggests classical restraint mixed with Renaissance idealism, embodying the ambiguity between biblical David and pagan Apollo—a masterwork defining High Renaissance sculpture.
