David is a masterpiece of Renaissance sculpture, created in the early 16th century by Michelangelo. Two famous artists started to work on the huge piece of marble which the owners called 'the Giant' during almost 40 years before Michelangelo got the contract. He only needed 4 years to finish the object. The original statue is more than 5 meters high and made in marble. We suggest you start your sculptural career with a bit smaller cardboard etude.
