Description
David is depicted before his battle with Goliath. Instead of being shown victorious over a foe much larger than he, David looks tense and ready for combat.
The statue appears to show David after he has made the decision to fight Goliath but before the battle has actually taken place, a moment between conscious choice and action. His brow is drawn, and his neck tense.
I took this photo of "David" in the Galleria dell'Accademia di Firenze, or "Gallery of the Academy of Florence".
