Michelangelo in the Accademia Gallery in Florence in Italy

Michelangelo's genius in all its power and splendour is located in Florence at the Accademia Gallery.

His major work is exhibited here, the one we come to see from all over the world, the famous David who alone deserves a visit to this museum.

Michelangelo David
We photographed it in all its facets and details, more than 120 photos to allow you to admire it fully.

A long article accompanies our photos on the history of this incredible sculpture and its profound meaning.

The aim is to explain Michelangelo's choices to carve his David: options against David's depiction made so far by other artists, including Donatello and Verrocchio.

The genius of this artist is thus expressed in an even personal and robust way.

David is not the only sculpture of Michelangelo exhibited at the Accademia Gallery.

Still, you can also admire four sculptures of prisoners who were to adorn Pope Julius II's tomb in Rome.

Finally, his sculptures of Saint Matthew and his Pietà Palestrina are equally attractive because they show how marble's work characterized Michelangelo's career's culmination.
