David is a masterpiece of Renaissance sculpture sculpted by Michelangelo from 1501 to 1504. It is the statue of the young Israelite king David alone that almost certainly is one of the most recognizable stone sculptures in the history of art. It is regarded as a symbol both of strength and youthful human beauty.
By the 20th century, Michelangelo's David had become iconic shorthand for "culture" David has been endlessly reproduced, in plaster, imitation marble fibreglass, and lends an atmosphere of culture.
