It is a sculpture by Giovanni Bernardo Bernini, who was greatly influenced by his father, Pietro Bernini, and is named David. It was created in 1623 and made of marble. A large, representative sculpture can be found in the Galleria Borghesia in Rome. The sculpture is fully three dimensional and the sculpture is created. Bernini’s use of marble was greatly influenced by Greek and Roman marble in the Vatican. Cardinal Borghese assisted Bernini in creating the sculpture by holding a mirror so that Bernini could fix his work. Bernini was 25 when he began to work on sculpture.
There is a lot of detail in the sculpture from the curled hair to the toe nails. Bernini’s precise art captured David as he appears to be in the very process of slaying Goliath. The line and movement is illustrated by the peak of David’s sling in his hand and the expression of determination on his face. His eyes are intent, as if he is trying to force a point on Goliath’s weakness. With the head of David we have a sense of Goliath in the sculpture even though it is not. Her skin texture is curly, smooth-hair> and her hair is curly. The color of the sculpture is the color of the skin tone and the transition lines from light to dark or shading created on the skin. He has muscles that seem to be in every inch of his body. Tell him the power. His weapons are in a pile behind him and he is standing over a lyre and has a pastoral bag around his neck on rocks. The artist has sketched the arms to show the gauntlet and the gauntlet. The belt of thebody is loose to cover the lower part and distinguish David as having no arms.
The artist was trying to share the story of David and Goliath in the Bible 1 Samuel 17. It takes place in Sochoh, which was in Judah, in the valley of Elah; David just came to check on his brothers and bring food when Goliath found a threat against Israel. David was a man after God’s own heart. When he heard the giant defiling the God of Israel, he knew that he was going to do something. When all are alarmed, he goes before King Saul and tries to fight the giant. Looking at David, it seemed to him that he could not smite Goliath, for he was only a shepherd’s boy, a harpist, but not a giant-slayer. David knew what everyone was thinking, but he also knew that something had to be done. And he began to tell the king Saul about the struggles he had with the bear and the lion, and how he killed him with his own two hands. During those times, David knew that God was with him and this time was no different. King Saul reluctantly agrees and offers his weapons, but the weapons are not tested by David. He knew that all his strength was from God and that he would overcome. He refused to put on his arms. David used a sling and a common stone for himself, and he took five smooth stones from the stream and put them in the shepherd’s bag. He must have been terrified to walk across that valley to Goliath, but he did not stop. As Goliath approaches, laughter begins to echo from Goliath’s mouth. It was disgraceful to come from a boy to battle. He began to curse his God, and to tell him what had happened to him. Nor was David moved by the prevailing words which he spoke. “Behold, I have begotten you today, God, and behold, I will kill you and cut off your head and serve your body and the bodies of your Philistines with ravens and ravens, and all the earth will know that there is a great man of God in Israel,” cried David.
The sculpture depicts the next movement of David, who sets himself to slay the giant. With the help of God he kills the giant and cuts off his head with his sword. And Israel smote that day upon a great Philistine army upon a single child, and a God-fearing one. In the sculpture it symbolizes strength, faith and humility. The power to do what everyone is afraid of everyone is faith to believe in anyone else plays, and humility you can not perceive it by yourself.
