Donatello was commissioned to make a statue of David, victorious after his battle with GOLIATH, twice in his career. The story comes from the Old Testament. Donatello was first commissioned to carve a statue of David in 1408. The commission came from the operai of the cathedral of Florence, who intended to decorate the buttresses of the tribunes of the cathedral with 12 statues of prophets. Donatello`s bronze statue of David (circa 1440s) is famous as the first unsupported standing work of bronze cast during the Renaissance, and the first freestanding nude male sculpture made since antiquity. It depicts David with an enigmatic smile, posed with his foot on GOLIATH`s severed head just after defeating the giant. The youth is completely naked, apart from a laurel-topped hat and boots, bearing the sword of GOLIATH. Virgin Islands, however, an additional charge may be required.
