The piety of michelangelo

Interactive 3D modelThe disputes between Savonarola and the Borgia family, especially with Pope Alexander VI, would eventually cost the Florentine religious his life. On May 13, 1497, Alexander VI excommunicated Savonarola; the pope’s followers entered Florence and imprisoned him and several of his followers. The strongest accusations he faced were his disobedience, and contempt for the precept, and pontifical censures with which he had been commanded to abstain from preaching; another, having ardently requested that the king of France Charles VIII enter Italy with his army to subjugate its provinces under the pretext of reforming the Court of Rome, and the customs of the Ecclesiastics. On May 8, 1498 Savonarola signed his confession, and on the 23rd of the same month he was executed at the stake along with two other followers in the Piazza della Signoria, the center of Florentine power.

There is an inconsistency: the David is apparently uncircumcised despite being Jewish, which would contradict Jewish law. This apparent inconsistency has been justified by some critics and historians because of the vision that Renaissance art had of the human being, less tied to religion and more to the values of beauty.[7]

Michelangelo focused his attention on man and his human qualities, those same virtues that would allow him to face the threat of a giant. Not for nothing did Michelangelo’s David become a symbol of the Italian Renaissance.

Standing 5.17 meters high and weighing 5.5 tons, the sculpture was commissioned by the Opera del Duomo for the cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence. But both its dimensions and its quality meant that it was destined for the Piazza della Signoria, where it remained until the 19th century. Today the David is located in the Galleria dell’Accademia in Florence, Italy.

The david by michelangelo history

The David is one of the most famous sculptures in the world, as well as being one of the most representative works of the Renaissance. The sculpture, which represents King David before his confrontation with Goliath, measures 4.10 meters and weighs 5.5 tons. Carved in Carrara marble, it was made between 1501 and 1504. Today it is one of the main attractions of Florence. Its history is full of anecdotes and curiosities.

The sculpture was part of a larger project, which foresaw the elaboration of 12 figures representing characters from the Old Testament, which were to be placed on the exterior of the cathedral Santa Maria delle Fiori.

Initially the sculpture was placed in the Piazza della Signoria facing Rome. However, that decision caused some controversy. It did not please that the David was addressed to Pope Alexander VI, who had given shelter to the Medici, previously expelled from the city by the government of Florence.

On the Florentine Via Ricasoli – which connects Piazza del Duomo to St. Mark’s Square – is the Accademia Gallery, universally famous for housing the most extraordinary sculpture of all time: Michelangelo’s David.

The origin of the Accademia Gallery dates back to 1339, when painters, sculptors and architects living in Florence formed the Confraternity of St. Luke. This guild gained importance as the capital of Tuscany became a major artistic center, which led Cosimo de’ Medici to found in 1562, based on a project by Giorgio Vasari, the Accademia delle Arti e del Disegno, dedicated to the teaching and practice of the fine arts.
