In his essay, ‘Michelangelo’s David: from Symbol to Myth’, Antonio Paolucci discusses the biblical story of David and Goliath, the tradition of Florentine statues, Michelangelo’s interpretation of David and the multiple meanings of the sculpture. The essay accompanies 57 black-and-white photographs by Aurelio Amendola, who specializes in photographing works of art, and whose images reveal ‘the complete and harmonious grace that permeates the anatomy of David.'
