MICHELANGELO Buonarroti: David (rear view)

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

Tensed musculature and contrapposto stance dominate this marble colossus, carved from a single block with anatomical precision and classical restraint. Michelangelo's David revolutionized Renaissance sculpture, embodying humanist ideals and establishing the artist as a master of the form.
