"In this book art historian Antonio Paolucci revisits the biblical story of David to rediscover his personality, reconstructing the milestones in the creation of this magnificent work of art and its subsequent history. The precision of Michelangelo's rendering of human anatomy, the grace of the carving and the virile elegance of the figure's pose can all be appreciated in Aurelio Amendola's photographs, which reveal every detail as well as the wonder of the whole." - Publisher.
