MICHELANGELO Buonarroti: David (rear view)

🖼 David (rear view), 1504
Marble, height 434 cm
Florence, Italy

Carved marble reveals a youth's tensed musculature and coiled energy, viewed from behind as he contemplates battle. Michelangelo's masterpiece redefined Renaissance sculpture, transforming classical ideals into psychological intensity and anatomical perfection that influenced centuries of art.
