The Evolution of David

Welcome to another mini-survey crash course, Honeys. This episode, we focus on the visual history of one of the world's most widely-known underdogs: David, defeater of Goliath. The evolution of David statues, from Donatello to to Bernini and beyond, provides us with fascinating insights into the effects of geographical and social contexts, male beauty ideals, and the influences of specific art movements across art history--visible in each version of the figure of David. Tune in for a deep dive into the man, the myth, and his artistic legacy!
