#T90 DAVID HEAD Painting

A little history of Michelangelo's David The story of the statue of David begins with a stone block brought to Florence by boat across the Mediterranean and Arno from the Fantiscritti quarry in Carrara, this block was stored for years waiting to be carved. In the middle of the 15th century, the managers of the Opera del Duomo and the leaders of the union of the Knitters of Florence promoted an ambitious project that consisted of sculpting twelve figures to decorate the exterior of the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore today known as the Duomo of Florence Michelangelo's David is currently in the Accademia Gallery of Florence (Galleria dell'Accademia di Firenze) in Florence and is definitely a goal you can not miss on your visit to this wonderful city. The Accademia Gallery is very close to the monumental Duomo (Piazza del Duomo). In 1910, the statue of David that was exposed to the elements in Piazza della Signoria, was transferred to the Accademia Gallery to avoid its deterioration, and the David we currently see at the square is a copy of the original
