Another photo of Florence's most famous nude person......

The famous statue is lit by sunlight for most of the afternoon so it's interesting to see the effect of the changing shadows as the sun moves across the sky.

As before when I've uploaded photos of naked statues I'm unsure whether they should be set to Moderate or not. I suppose at least this one doesn't feature full frontal nudity.....

To do so would mean I wouldn't be able to add it to most travel groups on flickr which would seem slightly strange given how many millions of tourists take photos of it every year.

From Wikipedia : "David is a masterpiece of Renaissance sculpture created between 1501 and 1504, by Italian sculptor, painter, architect, poet Michelangelo.

It is a 4.34-metre (14.2 ft), 5.17-metre (17.0 ft) with the base marble statue of a standing male nude. The statue represents the Biblical hero David, a favoured subject in the art of Florence. Originally commissioned as one of a series of statues of prophets to be positioned along the roofline of the east end of Florence Cathedral, the statue was placed instead in a public square, outside the Palazzo della Signoria, the seat of civic government in Florence, where it was unveiled on the 8th of September, 1504.

Because of the nature of the hero it represented, the statue soon came to symbolize the defense of civil liberties embodied in the Republic of Florence, an independent city-state threatened on all sides by more powerful rival states and by the hegemony of the Medici family. The eyes of David, with a warning glare, were turned towards Rome. The statue was moved to the Galleria dell'Accademia, Florence, in 1873, and later replaced at the original location by a replica."
