Il David.

Probably you know very well who was David. Probably you better know him in association with his huge enemy: Goliath.

This powerful sculpture generates an illusory perception of continuos still movement. Bernini sculptured the marble and the space around it. At every corner you see this sculpture you’ll see a different perspective all telling the same story of human anger and divine power. His extraordinary beauty lies in the potential action you see in all the David’s body. In his arms and legs, in his sling and in the angry and concentration on the facial expression. We do not see Goliath, but we know his destiny: he surely will perish after the David’s hit. His anger is ours, that stone is for all the people lies under the brutality of all Goliaths.
