The statuette "David (Donatello)"

Delve into the world of art history with a beautifully rendered bronze sculpture, a replica of a piece created by the renowned Italian sculptor Donatello. Standing at a substantial 65cm tall and weighing in at 14kg, this bronze statue leaves a lasting impression on all who gaze upon it. Inspired by a biblical tale, this sculpture is a testament to Donatello's masterful interpretation of narrative in art form.

Donatello sculpted his famous depiction of the biblical hero David around 1430 to 1440, a period during which the Renaissance was in full swing in Italy. His original masterpiece currently graces the prestigious National Museum of Bargello in Florence, drawing art aficionados from all around the globe who seek to witness firsthand the artistic genius of Donatello.

Our replica matches the original in its intricate detail and depth of story-telling. The sculpture portrays David in a momentary pause, mid-kneel, capturing the essence of an unfinished motion. The unique 'U-turn' posture gives an impression of fluidity and dynamism, showcasing Donatello's ability to bring movement and life to static bronze forms.

This version of David is designed to be viewed from any angle, making it a perfect centerpiece for any room or collection. It exudes a sense of freedom and naturalism, straying away from stiff and rigid Renaissance norms. Yet, the figure is embossed with a sense of modesty and surprise, reflecting the unlikely triumph David had over his adversary. The sculpture's palpable fragility highlights the stark contrast between David’s seeming helplessness and his surprising victory.
