~ Bernini
The David most people know is the sculpture created by Michelangelo. I know, I know, totally iconic and great and cool.
. . .
However, I figured I'd focus on a different aspect of David created by a fantastic artist named Bernini. This rendition is different than Michelangelo's in quite a few ways. The most important is that, while Michelangelo's classic is peaceful and contemplative, Bernini's piece is right in the middle of the moment of battle against Goliath. I love sculptures which bring you into the moment and are three-dimensional. This certainly does a great job. From the front, it looks like you're in the middle of the battle with Goliath right behind you.
Pretty cool!
See, I like this... The set of his mouth, the determination, the focus, the knowing.
This is how we should be at every battle, who cares what it looks like in the natural.
If God is for us then who can be against us.
wow that is cool!
and i agree with your mom.
Hi Drew! Hey, I think I see a little resemblance of you in that statue!! Blessings bro- Andrew Stoner
its realy intricate, his expression its certain, not betting anything, knowing ware God stands and not caring to much about ware he himself stands, only that he is fullfiling his purpose. is fact, i think that maybe he is looking just a little bit higher then the 9 foot giant.
hearts. This does remind me of you, too. David seems so determined, as you are. :)
