31. DAVID BY MICHAELANGELO David is a biblical hero from the Old Testament . He is best known for the story of David and Goliath , where he, a young shepherd, defeated the giant warrior Goliath using only a sling and a stone. David later became the King of Israel.

32. DAVID BY MICHAELANGELO 👉 In Michelangelo’s sculpture: The figure represents David before his battle with Goliath. Unlike earlier depictions that showed David victorious with Goliath’s head, Michelangelo chose to portray him calm, watchful, and tense, as if preparing for the fight. The statue symbolizes strength, courage, youthful beauty, and determination, and it became a symbol of the defense of civil liberties in Florence, where it was originally placed.

33. DAVID BY MICHAELANGELO 👉 Elements and Principles : 1. Balance and Unity- the body is in an asymmetrical position wherein the weight is rested on the right lower body while the left part of the body is slightly curving an S shape. More so, the size of the lower and upper body is not proportional. 2. Movement- the use of contrapposto. Instead of a rigid pose, the flexed left arm, the left gaze of the head, and the slightly bent left leg insinuated movement in Michaelangelo’s sculpture of David.

34. DAVID BY MICHAELANGELO 👉 Elements and Principles: 3. Pattern and Emphasis of the entire sculpture were set on the naked body of David, which imparts the notion of “power and stature.” Also, it demonstrates the subject’s heroism. 4. Rhythm- in this sculpture, it is expressed through the pattern of well- defined muscles and the curves of the lines of the body.

35. DAVID BY MICHAELANGELO 👉 Elements and Principles: 5. Contrast-contrast is evident on the treatment of the lower body and the upper body. At the upper part of the human figure, an elaborate set of details can be seen such as the lush hair, stern facial features and fully developed nude torso while the lower body is only accentuated by the male genitalia and the unbalanced feet posture.

36. Baroque Period Sculpture

37. Baroque Period The Roman Catholic Church highly encouraged the Baroque style to propagate Christianity, while the aristocracy used the Baroque style to impress visitors, express triumph, power, and control.

38. DAVID BY BERNINI David by Gian Lorenzo Bernini is another famous sculpture of the same biblical hero, but very different from Michelangelo’s version.

39. DAVID BY BERNINI 👉 About Bernini’s David (1623–1624): Bernini shows David in action, during the very moment he is about to hurl the stone at Goliath. His body is twisted, muscles tense, and face focused, capturing the drama and energy of the scene. This work is a perfect example of the Baroque style, which emphasized movement, emotion, and realism. Unlike Michelangelo’s calm and idealized David, Bernini’s David is full of motion and intensity, making viewers feel as if they are part of the battle.

40. DAVID BY BERNINI 👉Elements and Principles: “David “by Bernini 1. Movement-the composition in the shape of interrelated arcing diagonal lines immediately suggests movement and energy and drama. It also expresses the dynamic and instability of his body movement.

41. DAVID BY BERNINI 👉Elements and Principles: “David “by Bernini 2. Space- Baroque art wants us to be able to relate to the image in our bodies, not just in our minds. Bernini’s “David” utilizes three-dimensional form and space, reaching out into the viewer's space.

42. DAVID BY BERNINI 👉Elements and Principles: “David “by Bernini 3. Emphasis-intense emotion as seen on his facial expression, like the biting of lips and the eyebrows knit together, and energy and tension as he launches the rock. 4. Contrast- because of the intense body movement, the effects of light show the contrast between highlights and shadows.
