The gaze is calm, the body tense, the pose at once vulnerable and untouchable. In this black-and-white photograph, Michelangelo's David stands still against a background of cypress trees and open sky. Without colour, the eye focuses entirely on the forms, the details, the precision with which marble has been brought to life.
David is more than a statue. He is a symbol of courage, of inner strength in the face of something greater. By showing him in this austere setting, without tourists, without noise, the sculpture regains its dignity - as if you were face to face with the original, in silence.
This photograph invites you to stand still, to look and feel. The composition gives room for reflection and adds a piece of Florentine soul to any room in which it hangs. Ideal for lovers of classic art, black-and-white photography and timeless beauty.
