The statue David

The statue David created by both Denini and Donatello
are pieces of art history. They both have unique features that stand
out and catch the eye. Style is shown by the form and characteristics
each sculpture portrays by what pose they're doing and the
environment it's placed in. Technique is placed in by the
positioning of each figure and the creativity of the whole
design. The physical attributes of each sculpture makes your mind
wonder and want to study more about why each figure is doing
what it's doing and why it's wearing what it's wearing. Also, david
shows real male human characteristics so it makes it feel almost
realistic.

Bernini's version of the sculpture of David illustrates developments
of the baroque era by that period being a time of great energy. Artists were 
fascinated by movement and the actions of the human body. This sculpture implies action and shows David as he is throwing the stone at Goliath. 
David is not nude he is clothed to show his movement by his tense muscles  and his face by being concentrated in what he's doing.
