ho visto David

So after being in Firenze for about 3 months, I finally went to see David at the Academia. It was truly breath taking. I cant wait to go back and see him again. It was completely magnificent. Yes the sculpture has nearly perfect proportions except for the giant hands which were made intentionally large. But the mere presence David has is one of power. Its hard to describe in words, but I hope everyone can see him in person.

The Academia also has a great selection of Florentine Alter pieces. Alot of the information about them include the restoration process, so that was extremely interesting for me. It was great though, because most everyone goes there to see David, leaving the religious art in peaceful rooms with little visitors. Which makes me a little happier about religious are being in museums.
