The Three Davids
David, Oh David,
Beautiful are thou in the eyes of God;
One Man,
Sculpted differently in varying degrees
By three masters of cold hard stone
`~,,~`
Donatello,
Early renaissance master,
A bronze hero, sculpted in nude of sight
Young and ever posing
Self aware of his own beauty,
The symbol of David’s purity and faith in God
To protect against the sword and spear
The armor of Goliath
The triumph of the boy king,
The foot upon his head
``~~..~~``
Michelangelo
Master painter, sculptor, drawer, artist
David, oh David
The marble of your creation
And high Renaissance of grace
The political move over Papal sovereignty
The thinking David,
Relaxed and full grown man,
Michelangelo’s enlightenment,
The thinking mans time,
Perfected Renaissance philosophy
```~~~…~~~```
Bernini,
Master sculptor of many generations
Baroque art at is best
Marble in motion,
Sculpted at its best,
Divine humility
Simply clothed
In action,
Looking into the eyes of Goliath
Heavy stone, sling in hand
Beautiful are thou in the eyes of God;
One Man,
Sculpted differently in varying degrees
By three masters of cold hard stone

I adore the idea behind this....tho I have Dan Brown to thank for actually knowing who an wot all 3 artists an statues are...
I kinda did want more from this...more of the author or maybe some sort of coming together of the 3 individual artists, but even so, I like this a lot 🙃

Nice work deadwolf. Had my instructors showed more passion, I might have payed better attention in art class.
