This book takes a new look at the interpretations of, and the
historical information surrounding, Michelangelo's David. New
documentary materials discovered by Rolf Bagemihl add to the early
history of the stone block that became the David and provide an
identity for the painted terracotta colossus that stood on the
cathedral buttresses for which Michelangelo's statue was to be a
companion. The David, with its placement at the Palazzo della
Signoria, was deeply implicated in the civic history of Florence,
where public nakedness played a ritual role in the military and in
the political lives of its people. This book, then, places the
David not only within the artistic history of Florence and its
monuments but also within the popular culture of the period as
well.
