                                               Michaelangelo, David, between 1501-1504
                                              
Michaelangelo's sculpture, "David", is a statue created between 1501-1504.  It is a statue of a man standing in nude.  This picture represent the spirtual hero David, We really can't see what David was looking at but we can say he was holding some type of object in his hand.  In this picture David is standing on a object that looks like a plague and his sculpture was probroly in a museum.  By the lack of clothes i'll say this sculpture was done back in the 1500s because then people didnt really care for clothes so they didnt wear them in some parts of the world.

It can be noticed that the artist but hard work and effort into this sculpture.  It can be infered that the artist(Michaelangelo) put some emotion into this sculpture for an example the fact that David is nude is probroly because Michaelangelo was expressing how he feels.

If I could interview Michaelangelo here are some questions I would ask:
 *What made you sculpture David
 *Why did you sculpture David in nude
 *How did you feel when you where finish with the sculpture
 *How long did it take you to make this sculpture
 *How did you feel when this sculpture became famous

    This is a sculpture of David (from David and Goliath). He is holding a rock that he will eventually kill Goliah (a giant) with. This is a mythological story.
    The reason he is not wearing any clothes is because the sculpture portrays "ideal man". People did, however wear clothes back then, but artists from this time period chose to represent man in a pure form... which in their minds meant nude.
