David is a marble
sculpture created by Italian artist Gianlorenzo Bernini in seven months from 1623-1624. The
statue depicts the biblical David who was about to throw the stone that would
bring down Goliath. The statue has several interesting features which show the prosperity
of the Renaissance period. Aside from that, with this statue, Bernini also emphasized
the rise of Baroque in sculpture where artist used exaggerated motion and
clear, easily interpreted detail to produce drama and tension.
