David
Michelangelo's David, housed in the Galleria dell'Accademia, Florence. It has been there since 1893, and you can see four other unfinished Michelangelo sculptures also at the Accademia gallery. Sculpted between 1501 and 1504 from Carrera Marble, the 17 ft tall statue is supposed to represent David in the moments before his battle with Goliath. Not surprisingly, for the people of the city state of Florence, Michelangelo's statue of David became a symbol of their struggles against larger kingdoms.
