It is considered the best sculpture made by man and represents the ideal of masculine beauty. It is perfect in terms of its proportions. His head measures one eighth of the body and the rest of the sculpture is in perfect harmony. The original David, in Renaissance style, measures 5 meters high, weighs 5.5 tons and is located in the Gallery of the Academy in Florence.

The creator of the original, Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni (1475 to 1564), was one of the great artists of his time. He was not only active as a sculptor and painter (including the frescoes in the "Sistine Chapel" in the Vatican), but also as an architect, in this role he also worked on the new building of St. Peter's Basilica (Vatican/Rome).
