DavidGian Lorenzo Bernini
This electrifying sculpture (1623–24) captures David mid-swing as he prepares to strike Goliath. Commissioned by Cardinal Scipione Borghese, it breaks from static Renaissance models by freezing a moment of intense motion and psychological resolve. Bernini’s vivid realism and spiraling pose typify the Baroque celebration of drama and energy.
