“David” as Seen by Donatello, Michelangelo and Bernini
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper comparing the early and high renaissance depiction of David of Donatello and Michelangelo with the baroque representation of Bernini. The viewer is left guessing at what juncture Michelangelo’s David is standing both tense and serene. Donatello’s David clearly has finished his mission but gives no information about the moments preceding. Bernini, by using the baroque concept of time, combines these approaches, thereby placing himself into the baroque period through technique, as well as through chronology. Bibliography lists 10 sources in 14 footnotes.
