Just want to say, this video was one of the first to help inform me about Bernini and baroque art. I was very lucky to go to the villa borghese last summer, and after watching this video I actually became emotional seeing these amazing sculptures

Estas estatuas sobre David son uno de los mejores ejemplos para ver como cambia la representación de una misma escena cuando cambia la mentalidad y la época!

This was an absolute treat - arguably one of my all-time favorite Smarthistory videos. Caravaggio is everything, but Bernini's David was one of the first major impressions I had as a new viewer here and it still gets me every time... That said, I didn't know Caravaggio did a David painting and can't wait to hear about that too, lol. "He's got God behind him, but he's still using all his strength..." Love that. As it ought to be. ❤🔥

I always thought Michelangelo's statue of David was after he had thrown the stone. I was interested to hear you say it is David before the stone was thrown. To me David looks very calm and relaxed as if he has accomplished the undefeatable.

Shannon Walsh just to add to the point made in the video- the powerful hands of David (Michelangelo) show the built up energy inside the figure to face the Herculean task! (So yes in all probability it supports the argument that it is a figure depicting him before the act ) 🙂

I've read somewhere in an old Renaissance Art Book that David's mixed firm posture and serious looking crossed eyebrows depict his stance before facing Goliath, you can see his seriousness up close

gunmeet grewal just an update sir, this is what I was referring to _"Michelangelo conveyed David's combination of confidence and anxiety before the battle by carving him with a casual stance, but with a wrinkled brow."_ - O'Reilly, Wenda. 2000. The Renaissance Art Book. Birdcage Books.

Art historian:... "creating a stable columnar figure making the human body... a classical column" Michaelangelo's true feelings:... " man, i gotta fit this figure into this narrow block that's been partially chipped into by somebody else before, and its all we got. "
@bluesque9687 Жыл бұрын
And that's why Michelangelo impresses more! He is not capturing a moment like a photographer, rather time stands still for his David. Also Michelangelo's David has an oversized head, so that people looking up at him from down below don't find his body bigger than his head due to perspective! And, that is part of the drama!!

Thank you. In terms of "naturalism", Michelangelo's Pieta is hard to beat, yet that was from the High Renaissance. Hellenistic art over a millennium earlier also had this dynamic naturalism. These examples highlight the complexity and evolution of artistic styles over time wherein one should guard against too dogmatic an interpretation of artistic periods.

Diría que tiene mas mérito y es mas difícil que la de Miguel Angel ,pero este trabajaba solo y Bernini tenía un gran equipo... aun así, "la Pieta ", es lo máximo que una persona puede hacer, considerando que Miguel Angel, lo fuera... lo cual no está demostrado
