David sculpture

David is a marble sculpture created by Italian sculptor Michelangelo between 1501 and 1504, and is now in the collection of the Florence Academy of Fine Arts, Italy.

The David sculpture is a marble statue, 3.96 meters high, with a base 5.5 meters high. The statue shows the image of a young and powerful naked man, with a strong body, a firm expression, full muscles, and vitality. It seems that he can feel the blood vessels of the character's body, which highlights David's tall image as a hero.

"David" embodies the sacred beauty of the human body and the great enthusiasm that David is about to burst, thus becoming one of the male nude statues worth boasting in the history of Western art.

David's story

David draws on the myths in the "Old Testament". David is a character in the Bible. He was the king of Israel from 1010 to 970 BC. During his reign, he overthrew the rule of the alien Philistines and unified Israel.

This hero had a wonderful and moving story when he was young. At that time, King Saul of Israel was reigning. The Philistines invaded Israel, and among them was a warrior named Goliath, who was invincible on the battlefield, and the Israelis were killed and wounded countless. Goliath played for more than 40 days, but the Israelis did not dare to play.

David's three brothers all went to the front line to fight, and because he was too young to participate in the war, he went to the front line to deliver food to the brothers. When David reached 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, taking the shame of the snow nation. King Saul gave him his armor, but David refused, still wearing the clothes of a shepherd boy, walked onto the battlefield, and cursed Goliath loudly.

When Goliath was dizzy and dizzy, David used a slammer to knock Goliath unconscious. David rushed forward, drew out a sharp blade and cut off Goliath's head, saving Israel.

Since then, the young David has become a nationally renowned hero.
