Michelangelo

David by Michelangelo, Galleria dell'Accademia, Florence.

David

An ancient Greco-Roman marble statuary group featuring a muscular, bearded man—the priest Laocoön—and his two sons. They are entwined in the thick, writhing coils of two giant snakes. The father’s face is contorted in a visceral expression of agony, while the boys display terror and exhaustion as they are constricted.
