David Awaiting Goliath
Before going to Eleganza, the only sculpture that I had ever seen, besides the small statues in neighbors' yards, was in books that I had looked at. When I entered the museum I noticed the many sculptures that occupied the small space. After walking around, observing the different sculptures and listening to Dr. Roselle speak, I came to a decision that David was my favorite statue in the museum. The complexity, texture, and realistic characteristics of Michelangelo's David made this a beautiful sculpture. I had only been exposed to pictures in books of sculpture before visiting Eleganza. For me to be able to see the sculptures in their three-dimensional form right in front of me was an experience I had never thought that I w
I gained much respect for Michelangelo after hearing the stories Dr. The texture of David was smooth to the touch; every curve seemed to flow with the rest of the body structure. David's body structure looked so firm and strong. Visiting Eleganza was a good experience for me; I never knew exactly how skilled the sculptures of old times were. I was very pleased with the fact that I was allowed to touch David to feel the 2texture for myself. Unlike a lot of the Greek sculpture, of gods, David is constructed as a young man that still is not at his prime stage of muscle mass. He doesn't show much expression in his face, but the detail in his body is marvelous and a great depiction of a real human being. David's appearance was that exactly of a human being; I observed the body and there wasn't a flaw to be found. Everything from the muscles in his arms and stomach to the curl in his hair made him an exceptional piece of art. It is hard for me to imagine the tools used to create the intricate details existed back when Michelangelo was working on his sculptures. The ivory color of the statue was pleasing to the eye and gave the statue even more of a soft, smooth texture. I really enjoyed Eleganza and am now looking forward to a trip overseas to see the real thing. The look in David's eyes as he awaits Goliath is so realistic. It was good to see all different sculpture from different periods of time to be able to see the differences in techniques and structure.
