The Statue of David was finished in 1503.
Donatello didn't make David. It was Michelangelo and he took over a commission for the statue. Two prior sculptors had attempted and abandoned. Michelangelo returned to Florence in 1501 and was commissioned by the city to do the statue to enhance the Duomo. It took him 3 years to finish.
I HAVE A SET OF INCYCLOPEDIAS FROM THE 40S AND IT TALKS ABOUT HOW HE WAS GIVEN THIS PIECE OF MARBLE WHEN HE RETURNED TO HIS HOMETOWN AS A GIFT IT WAS ANOTHER ARTIST WHO DIDNT DO A JOB AND HAD STARTED A STATUE BUT IT SAYS IT WAS HUGE RECTANGULAR WITH A SMALL HOLE NEAR THE BOTTOM SO THE TOWN GAVE IT TO MICHAEL AND HE DECIDED IT WOUD BE HIS MASTERPIECE AND GIVE IT BACK TO THE TOWN OR SO THE STORY GOES IT WAS NEVER INTENDED TO BE A STATUE OF DAVID BY THE ORIGINAL ARTIST ANYWAY THATS WHAT I READ HOPE IT HELPS AND HOPE ITS TRUE.
Michelangelo was able to fit into the renaissance because nude or semi nude art was uncommon before the renaissance and Michelangelo studied the human anatomy and was able to make sculptures that people from the bible e.g.: David from David and Goliath. That were anatomically correct.
In the city of Florence, Italy where it still resides.
It stands for the city of Florence. They wanted him to make david because it stood for a little city with alot of power. Just like the story of david and goliath.

Nobody carved any marble in the Sistine Capel. Michelangelo PAINTED that ceiling. Michelangelo carved marble at other places to make sculptures as David and Moses.
David is not responsible for having painted the Sistine Chapel. This work of art is attributed to Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni, most commonly known as simply Michelangelo.
