Soon after his return to Florence, Michelangelo was commissioned to turn a hulking and imperfect of white marble into a statue of a biblical Goliath-slayer, David. Working with his usual secrecy, bye early 1505 he had produced the most famous statue ever carved (fig. 97). Seventeen feet high and dazzlingly bright, it instantly eclipsed all previous statues of David, including the pretty-boy version of Verrochio for which the the youthful Leonardo served as a model.. . . .Though David seems relaxed, we can sense a tension in the muscles of his neck and see the veins bulging on the back of his right hand. ~ page 369
