Florence -- the David.. magnificent form - I love the contrast between the sensitivity of the human form in marble and the rough harshness of the background wall..
Hi Doug --- that is the wonder of the work of Michelangelo, both his painting and his sculpture - he does this quite often - exaggerating a feature to make it look more realistic from afar - it is truly amazing when you look at the individual elements like this and think that can't work... Then draw back and look at the whole -- and it is a masterpiece... The Sistine Chapel is full of examples of this.
