Donatello's bronze masterwork
Sometime around 1430, Donatello was commissioned to create a bronze statue of David, although who his patron may have been is up for debate. The David is the first large-scale, free-standing nude statue of the Renaissance. It is currently in the Museo Nazionale del Bargello, Florence.
