I enjoy the fact that he tries to esentually include me into the action but I almost feel that without having Goliath on the other side of the room, its incomplete.Reece Carlsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00366317450253154220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3485854820474729315.post-88792862464583291972012-02-24T16:44:01.718-08:002012-02-24T16:44:01.718-08:00It's comparisons like this that make me love a...It's comparisons like this that make me love art history. It is so interesting to see how artistic periods are different and similar and why those changes came about. The mix of religion and personal style of Bernini's David makes it the more interesting of the two (to me at least). He used the biblical imagery demanded of the time, and I'm sure of the man who commissioned this, but added his own touches such as a self portrait with his face being David's.Olivia Burlingamehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12104908996249247029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3485854820474729315.post-53184666815640418782012-02-24T10:24:34.288-08:002012-02-24T10:24:34.288-08:00I personally think that Michelangelo's David i...I personally think that Michelangelo's David is more interesting to look at...I agree that Bernini's David incorporates more action and movement, but all of that at once diverts my eye away from it, like my first reaction is a sense of being overwhelmed. Looking at the relaxed and naturally alluring pose of Michelangelo's David sparks my attention and makes me want to look over every detail; there is a flow about his form that pulls my eye along the whole path of his body. Pretty intense.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3485854820474729315.post-62892783586885180612012-02-23T19:21:44.261-08:002012-02-23T19:21:44.261-08:00I really enjoyed reading your post.

Like you have mentioned, the different textures in Bernini's David show us that Baroque artists concentrated much more on the humanism and naturalism of their work than the Renaissance artists.lesikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11299272728408190680noreply@blogger.com
