rk shows David as more reserved and as the strong young man put into an extraordinary situation, and Bernini shows action and depicts David as the artist warrior. Both were the premiere sculptors of their respective periods and styles.I chose these works because I think sculpture has a unique overt expression having three dimensions, making the piece seem more real. Both use the stone medium as a tool for story telling extraordinarily in their own ways. The pieces are not only similar in subject and setting but convey a like message, while conversely they are different in technical ways. Also, I think the iconography of David is very powerful and relative to everyone. Both artists were a reflection of their time and now for all time they live on in stone....
