The Dark Side of David Bust: A Statue Inspired by Michelangelo’s Masterpiece

This sculpture is a unique and creative interpretation of the classic statue of David by Michelangelo. It is called The Dark Side of David, and it represents the contrast between the beauty and the brutality of the biblical hero who slayed Goliath. The sculpture is made of fiberglass, a material that is lightweight, strong, and durable. It is perfect for fans of classic sculptures who want to add a touch of modernity and mystery to their home or office.


The original statue of David by Michelangelo was created from 1501 to 1504, and it is a masterpiece of Italian Renaissance sculpture. It stands 5.17 metres (17 ft 0 in) tall, and it depicts David as a young man with a confident and calm expression, holding a sling in his left hand. The statue was commissioned for one of the buttresses of the cathedral of Florence, but it was later placed in front of the Palazzo della Signoria, the seat of civic government in Florence . The statue symbolises the defence of civil liberties and the independence of the Republic of Florence.


The Dark Side of David is a bust sculpture that shows only the upper part of David’s body, but with a twist. The color is black, and half of his face is covered by a skull, revealing his bones and teeth. The sculpture suggests that David has a dark side, that he is not only a hero but also a killer, that he has both life and death in him. The sculpture also evokes a sense of mystery and intrigue, as if David is hiding something from us. The height is 65 cm.
