The subject matter of Michelangelo's "David" is the biblical figure of David, a young shepherd who defeats the giant Goliath. The sculpture captures David in a moment of contemplative strength and determination, symbolizing human potential and the triumph of good over evil. Created from a single block of marble, it exemplifies Renaissance ideals of beauty, anatomical precision, and the celebration of the human form. The work reflects themes of heroism, courage, and the Renaissance belief in the power of the individual.
