The Medici commission of the statues of David, particularly those by Donatello and later Michelangelo, was significant as it symbolized the power and influence of the Medici family in Renaissance Florence. Donatello's bronze David was the first known nude statue since antiquity, reflecting a revival of classical ideals and showcasing humanism. Michelangelo's marble David, created later, became an icon of Renaissance art, representing the triumph of human spirit and the civic virtues of Florence. Together, these works underscored the Medici's role as patrons of the arts and their investment in cultural identity.
