AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
We present to you the Marlen Il David Collection.
David is a masterpiece of Renaissance sculpture carved in marble between 1501 and 1504 by Michelangelo and housed in the Galleria dell’Accademia in Florence. Widely regarded as a masterpiece of world sculpture, it is one of Italy's emblems: the work depicts the biblical hero at the moment he is about to face Goliath.
The hood and the shaft are made of white celluloid with a silver band depicting David, who has always been considered, in art, the ideal of male beauty (just as Botticelli's Venus is considered the canon of female beauty). The silver clip resembles the shape of a chisel: it was through relentless work with hammer and chisel that Michelangelo managed to preserve the flexibility of his hands until the last days of his life.
