Masterpiece
Michelangelo’s world-famous statue of David lives in the Galleria dell’Accadeia in Florence. It is recognizable all over the world, with any one of us being able to pick it out of a line-up and identify the exquisite masterpiece in marble.

He’s pretty unforgettable in the flesh too. He’s 17 feet tall and weighs 6 tons, which is probably one reason why it took Michelangelo 2 years to carve him, at the age of 26.
