1. "David", a marble statue, 2.5 meters high, including the base, 5.5 meters high. Michelangelo created it in 1501 AD - 1504, now in the collection of the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence. Michelangelo lived in a turbulent era in Italian society, and his wandering life made him doubt the era in which he lived. Despite the pain and disappointment, he poured his thoughts into his artistic creation, while also searching for his own ideals, and created a series of heroic images with majestic, strong and brave giants. "David" is the most outstanding representative of this kind of thinking. David is a young hero in the Bible who once killed the Philistine giant Goliath who invaded the Jews and defended the cities and people of his motherland. Michelangelo did not follow the previous scene where David trampled the enemy's head under his feet after defeating the enemy. Instead, he chose David's state when he faced the battle. In this work, David is a muscular and well-proportioned young warrior. He stood confidently, with a heroic posture, holding a stone in his left hand, his right hand drooping, his head turning to the left, his face handsome, and his bright eyes staring into the distance, as if he was searching for enemies in the distance of the horizon, ready at any time Enter a new battle. David has a majestic and muscular physique, a brave and strong demeanor, and a tense and full body, face and muscles, embodying all idealized male beauty, both externally and internally. The young hero glared straight ahead, his expression full of concentrated tension and strong will, and the great power accumulated in his body seemed ready to burst out at any time. Unlike his predecessors' habit of showing the scene after the battle, Michelangelo here depicts the moments before the characters develop passion, making the work more artistically appealing. His posture seems to be resting, but his body posture shows a certain tension, giving people a strong feeling of "motion in silence". The statue is carved from a single piece of stone. In order to make the statue appear more majestic on the base, the artist intentionally enlarged the figure's head and two arms, making David appear more upright and powerful from the audience's perspective. Full of giant feeling. This statue is considered to be one of the most boastful male human statues in the history of Western art. Not only that, "David" is a concrete embodiment of Renaissance humanistic thought. Its praise of the human body is superficially a "revival" of ancient Greek art, but in essence it means that people have been freed from the shackles of the dark Middle Ages. , fully realizing the huge power of people in changing the world. Michelangelo injected great enthusiasm into the carving process, and what he created was not just a statue, but a symbol of the artistic expression of the ideological liberation movement. As the highest state of sculptural art works of an era, "David" will always radiate endless brilliance in the history of art. For the protection of the art, the original work of "David" was placed in the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence. At the same time, a replica stood in front of the City Hall for people from all over the world to appreciate.
