Michelangelo saw something—someone—special in the stone.
No one wanted the “giant.” The hulking block of marble lay in thework yard, rained on, hacked at, and abandoned—until a youngMichelangelo saw his David in it.
Night and day, Michelangelo worked in secret, lovingly coaxing statue out of the stone. Its majesty endures even today.
This is the story of how a neglected, discarded stone became amasterpiece for all time. It is also a story of how humans seethemselves reflected in art.
Back matter includes further information about David and a selected bibliography
