David by Michelangelo.. Bewitched.. Mesmerised…
“DAVID…
De… Michel–Ange“…
Took… my…
Breath… away…
Before… him…
I… stood…
In Florence‘s public square… outside the Palazzo della Signoria…
Mesmerised… by…
His… beauty…
The nose… Roman…
So… noble…
So… strong…
Bewitching eyes… which seemed to be gazing towards Rome… perfect pouting mouth… luxurious curly locks…
His physique rendered me speechless… in its magnificence…
In the French Le Figaro Magazine… a giant sculpture of David appeared undergoing extensive restoration… financed by “L’association americaine des Amis de Florence“…
I was whooshed… catapulted back… to that unforgettable moment in time… when I stood bewitched in front of Michelangelo‘s “David“… one of the most powerful, most aesthetically beautiful sculptures… on the planet.
The colossal size of the statue… carved… sculpted out of a large piece of Carrara marble transformed into a splendid work of art… is nothing less than a miracle.
The twenty-six year old Michelangelo surpassed… “all ancient and modern statues, whether Greek or Latin, that ever existed“.
“David… de Michel-Ange“…
Is… a symbol of…
Courage… strength…
Youthful… beauty…
A heroic Male… nude sculpture…
Restored… to its divine beauty…
I’m… still…
Bewitched…
Mesmerised…
By… Michelangelo‘s…
Genius… artwork…
By… DAVID…
My…
Masterpiece…
