One of the most-visited works of art in Florence is a 17-foot marble statue of the Biblical figure David. Who sculpted it?
A Leonardo da Vinci
B Donatello
C Michelangelo
Michelangelo carved his Renaissance masterpiece between 1501 and 1504. It was commissioned as one of a series of statues to be positioned along the roofline of the Cathedral of Florence. David was instead displayed in a public square, where it stood for 369 years until it was moved in 1873 to its current location in the Galleria dell’Accademia museum.
The correct answer is Michelangelo.
