Masterpiece
Michelangelo’s world-famous statue of David lives in the Galleria dell Accademia 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.
