Description:
|
|
Begun after Apollo and Daphne but finished before, David was the last statue Bernini created for Cardinal Scipione Borghese. The vigorous pose is akin to the model of a man throwing a spear or stone in Leonardo da Vinci’s Trattato della pittura (for further discussion see Lavin, 1985, pp. 1-23), a model followed by Annibale Carracci in the figure of Polyphemus on the ceiling of the gallery of the Palazzo Farnese. The 25-year old Bernini modeled the youth's tense facial expression from his own face. (Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.oxfordart online.com/)
