David is a marble sculpture created by Italian sculptor Michelangelo Buonarroti from 150 1 to 1504. Now it is collected in Florence Academy of Fine Arts, Italy.
The sculpture is a marble statue with a height of 3.96 meters and a base of 5.5 meters. The statue shows a young and powerful naked man with a strong posture, firm expression, full muscles and full of vitality.
It seems that I can feel the pulse of the blood vessels of the characters, which highlights David's tall heroic image. David embodies the sacred beauty of the human body and David's great enthusiasm for creation, thus becoming one of the male nude statues that can be boasted in the history of western art.
Extended data:
David is based on fairy tales in the Old Testament. David is a figure in the Bible. He was the king of Israel from 65438 BC to 970 BC. During his reign, he overthrew the rule of Philistines and unified Israel.
The hero had a wonderful and touching story when he was young. At that time, King Saul of Israel was in power. The Philistines invaded Israel, and there was a warrior among the Philistines. His name is Goliath, he is eight feet tall, wearing a helmet and armor, and his strength is infinite.
Israel was invincible on the battlefield and suffered heavy casualties. Goliath fought for more than 40 days, but Israel dared not fight. David's three brothers all went to the front to fight. Because he was too young to fight, he went to the front to deliver food to his brothers.
When David went to the front line, he saw the enemy giant Goliath rushing up, and the Israelis could not resist. At this time, David was full of anger and demanded to go to war to avenge the shame of the nation.
King Saul saw that David had great confidence, so he gave him his armor. David refused the armor and still dressed as a shepherd boy. He led the people to the battlefield and shouted at Goliath. When Goliath was scolded, David threw a stone with a stone bomb and knocked Goliath unconscious.
David rushed forward, drew his sword, cut off Goliath's head and saved Israel. Since then, young David has become a national famous hero.
Michelangelo did not follow the scene of David stepping on the enemy's head after defeating the enemy, but chose David's state when he met the battle.
