Episode 151 - The Divine Michelangelo Part VI - The David (Part II)
Rebuilding The Renaissance - A podcast by Rocky Ruggiero - Wednesdays
This episode is the second of a three-part podcast on the world's most celebrated statue. From the original contract drawn up in 1463 - 12 years before Michelangelo was even born! - to Michelangelo's sculptural inheritance and eventual triumphant completion of the statue, to the city-wide commission convened to decide what to do with the great statue, this podcast will examine the history of the commission of The David.
