In the Gallery of the Academy in Florence, Italy, stands the
‘David’, by Michelangelo, considered by many to be the most beautiful piece of sculpture in the world.
It is said that later in his life, Michelangelo was once asked how he was able to sculpt something so beautiful. He explained that he was walking to his studio one morning and he happened to glance down a side street to where a huge block of marble, brought down from the mountains some years ago, was lying, overgrown with grass and bushes.
He had walked this way many times, but this time, he stopped and
examined the huge block of marble, walking around it several times.
Suddenly, he realized that this was exactly what he had been seeking to create the statue that had been commissioned. He had the block brought to his studio, where he worked on it for almost four years to create the David
As legend has it, he said later, “I saw the David in the block of marble at the very beginning. My sole job from then on was to remove everything that was not the David, until only perfection was left.”
