Rome, Apr 15 (EFE) – With the same delicacy with which Michelangelo’s original David would be treated, his “twin” made in resin with a 3D printer and covered with marble powder was packed and transported with a special vehicle to Malpensa airport in Milan (northern Italy), from where it will leave for Dubai, to be one of the attractions of the Universal Exposition.

Despite being only a “clone”, this David is expected “as an ambassador of beauty, hope, faith in progress” to become the great protagonist of the Italian pavilion for the Dubai Expo, to be held from next October 1 to March 2022, explain the organizers of the installation.

The impressive copy of the sculpture came out last night, through a complicated and spectacular operation, from the laboratory of Nicolas Salvioli, in the historic center of Florence, where the work has been carried out to cover it with a layer of two centimeters of Carrara marble, the same material with which the Renaissance genius made it.

When Michelangelo’s David was finished and ready to be taken to the Cathedral of Florence, the result so impressed the Opera del Duomo that they gathered a group of illustrious personalities of the city to decide where to place it. Among them were great artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, Botticelli and Perugino, the master of the great Raphael, who decided that the best place for Michelangelo’s David would be the Piazza della Signoria and not the cathedral. And there the David remained until 1873, when it was moved to the Galleria dell’Accademia. If you are wondering where Michelangelo’s David is, his current ”residence” in Florence is the Accademia Gallery.

The David, despite not being the giant but the one who defeats him, is a statue of grandiose dimensions. Something with which Michelangelo also surprised. The statue of Michelangelo’s David weighs more than 5 tons and is more than 5 meters high: Aren’t his hands too big, and his head? These are two of the questions most frequently asked by visitors who see the statue of David for the first time. The answer is clear: yes. Both elements are disproportionate to the a priori perfect proportions of the David. Is it a mistake? Not at all! Michelangelo sculpts the mind and the larger hands intentionally. The mind is what sets us apart as humans, the intellect is our greatest power. It is only because of this that David manages to defeat Goliath. And the hands are our instrument to give action to our intellect. Like David, who with his wit manages to figure out how to defeat the giant but needs his hands to execute his ideas. Michelangelo once again illustrated the art world with his sculpture.

Pablo Picasso, quizá el artista más influyente del siglo XX, es conocido por ser el pionero del cubismo y por fracturar el plano pictórico bidimensional para transmitir el espacio tridimensional. Inspirado por el arte africano e ibérico, también contribuyó al auge del surrealismo y el expresionismo. La considerable obra de Picasso llegó a incluir más de 20.000 pinturas, grabados, dibujos, esculturas, cerámicas, decorados de teatro y diseños de vestuario. Pintó su obra más famosa, el Guernica (1937), en respuesta a la Guerra Civil española; el totémico lienzo en grisalla sigue siendo una obra definitiva del arte antibélico. En las subastas, varios cuadros de Picasso se han vendido por más de 100 millones de dólares. El infatigable artista ha sido objeto de exposiciones en las instituciones más prestigiosas del mundo, desde el Museo de Arte Moderno y el Centro Pompidou hasta el Museo Stedelijk y la Tate Modern.
