 * This is a different version of the famous statue made by Michelangelo. This sculpture is done by another famous artist, Donatello. There is much detail in everything from the head of Goliath at David's feet to David's robes. Also, the body and the decapitated head are anatomically correct. Art and more specifically sculptures are generally like this in the Renaissance. I also read that this statue represents the revival of Ancient Greek and Roman art. || The sculpture of Mary and Jesus above is done by Michelangelo, another famous artist of the Renaissance. I have looked at much of his work and I have noticed that almost all of it is religious, though apparently this began to be less common as we move farther and farther into the Renaissance. There is great detail in this sculpture aswell, and the work is quite famous and well-known. ||
