Michelangelo's David became a political symbol in Florence during the Renaissance because it represented the city-state's defiance against larger powers. The statue's depiction of David, a biblical figure who defeated the giant Goliath, symbolized Florence's ability to triumph over its enemies and assert its independence. The statue was seen as a symbol of Florentine strength and resilience, and it came to represent the city's political and cultural identity.
