 * This statue, David, was created by Donatello who was an early Renaissance artist. It gives a political meaning, and symbolized the Florentine Republic. In this image it shows the statue of young David with the head of his Biblical foe at his feet. The statue has a revival of ancient Greece and Rome in it, but it is realistic and accurate like most Renaissance art. || In this image you see the sculpture Pietá by Michelangelo. It is one of the most loved religious works. It features Mary and Jesus, and is the only religious work Michelangelo ever signed. The Pieta was made from just one block of marble. Michelangelo was a poet, sculptor, painter, arcitect, working for many patrons. Throughout his lifetime he worked on many projects including; a tomb for Pope Julius II, the ceiling of the Sistene Chapel, many projects for the Medici family and many different frescos. ||
