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 strong naked man, with vigorous posture, firm expression, full muscles and full of vitality. He seems to feel the pulse of the characters' blood vessels, which highlights David's tall image as a hero.
This sculpture embodies the sacred beauty of the human body and the great enthusiasm that David came to generate, thus becoming one of the male statues that can be boasted in the history of western art.
Appreciation of Sculpture David
David is the concrete embodiment of Renaissance humanism. On the surface, it praises the human body, which is a "revival" of ancient Greek art. In essence, it means that people are freed from the shackles of the dark Middle Ages and fully realize the great power of people to transform the world. Michelangelo injected great enthusiasm into the carving process, creating not only a statue, but also a symbol of artistic expression of the ideological emancipation movement.
The young hero glared at the front, his expression was full of concentrated tension and strong will, and the great power accumulated in his body seemed to break out at any time.
