Description:
Daniele was influenced by Florentine Mannerism in other works, for example in the paintings he made for Giovanni della Casa during the 1550s. Although these works, including the David and Goliath in the Louvre, are generally derived from drawings by Michelangelo (who specifically gave Daniele preliminary sketches for David and Goliath, now in the Morgan), their polish and finish are close to the manner of Vasari and Salviati. This painting closely matches (except for the colors of the garments and the presence of the sling and sword scabbard), the front side of the Louvre painting, which is painted on slate, on both sides.
