David" is a masterpiece of Renaissance sculpture created between 1501 and1504, by the Italian artist Michelangelo. It is a 5.17 metre (17 feet)[1] marble statue of a standing male nude. The statue represents the Biblical hero David, a favoured subject in theart of Florence.
Originally commissioned as one of a series to be positioned high up on the facade of Florence Cathedral, the statue was instead placed in a public square, outside thePalazzo della Signoria, the seat of civic government in Florence, where it was unveiled on 8 September 1504. Because of the nature of the hero that it represented, it soon came tosymbolise the defence of civil liberties embodied in the Florentine Republic, an independent city-state threatened on all sides by more powerful rival states and by the hegemony of the Medicifamily. The eyes of David, with a warning glare, were turned towards Rome.[2]
The statue is now displayed in the Accademia Gallery, Florence, and a replica stands in its place
