To many, the expression of feelings have always been expressed through the worship of the arts.
-the products of human creativity; works of art collectively; "an art exhibition"; "a fine collection of art"
David, oh beloved David, He is depicted as a righteous, holy king—although not without fault—as well as an acclaimed warrior, musician and poet. the story of David and Goliath, an epic tale of heroism and faith. diligence toward man and god. with daring courage and faith, he stood against a mountain and screamed ... MOVE!
ah Michelangelo, look at his beauty, every detail to the "T". his body is perfect, the marble molds to his every crevasse and arroyo. he, as David, stands with glory; such realism, the artist is not just a sculptor but a genius in anatomy. the veins and the detail from his hair to his toes. ah, if only art was still this passionate. definitely one of my favorite pieces of David, not because of its popularity in art but its glory in how it is presented. mike make this statue of him to be looked on from above, to glorify his existence, he is king, he wrote psalms, and he is glorified through history as a blessed ruler and poet.
"i glorify you, King David."

on to Donatello, look at the cocky bastard, amazing ... personified as an arrogant prick with the middle age vibe saying "i can kick any one's ass". the hat, the stance, the posture, wow ... i love the characterisation that went into this. Donnie didn't care about the character, like many fan fiction/directors/comic book writers he didn't give a shit about the original tail, he left the basics but put his twist on things. good job Donnie!
oh boy, look at this tool, Bernini did an AMAZING JOB on this. the form, the energy, and the total drive to the commitment to do god's work in David's eyes. wow ... definitely he did a great job, Berni loves to portray emotional faces in his art work and he defiantly did a bang-up job on this guy. not as detailed as mike but still, kudos to you, Berni.
hey hey hey, we gota a copy cat! The Biblical hero is depicted naked with the head of Goliath at his feet like Donnie's David, but with a turbaned head and sheathing his long sword. look at that tool ... honestly, i wanted this to be a mature post, but honestly whats with the small flaccid penis? these artists give David a great body, portray him as a bold, brave, holy guy but then don't give him the equipment to deliver. oh well... *TANGENT* not my favorite but decent job.
now onto Verrocchio's David, holy shit, he's got censorship! YES! the pope must of said something. =X ok ok ok ok, onto business ... it seems like everyone wants to add the cocky flavor to david ... well this guy would be the first to do it, his students included Leonardo da Vinci, Perugino, Ghirlandaio and Sandro Botticelli. so this prick wins ... i still like Donnie's more. =]
A PAINTING! WOOPIE!! yay! Caravaggio did it! =] ok, lets look at this masterpiece ... hmmm ... violent ... nice use of black to personify the action and the characters rather then the setting. hmmm good job. BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE!
this dude liked David so much, he did two ... you cheeky fucker! =]
well,lets talk about the dude now. King David reigned for many years in Israel from his capital, Jerusalem. The City of David remains to this day. and he is still one of the bibles greatest characters. come on he brought Israel into it's golden age. how do we repay his greatness, we put him into the bible, we paint his gloryies, and we tell his tale of greatness and heroism to the little ones as a bible story.
so all i have to say now about this guy, hey, read psalms and you'll know it all.
take a bow ... my king.
