Michelangelo's Statue of David, created between 1501 and 1504, is known for its remarkable details, particularly in the right hand.
This iconic statue was carved from a single 6-ton slab of marble that had been discarded by two other sculptors due to flaws. The marble lay exposed to the elements for 26 years before a 26-year-old Michelangelo was awarded the contract.
Michelangelo began his work on September 13th, 1501, and dedicated two years of his life to carving out this masterpiece.
The Statue of David stands at an impressive 17 feet (5.18 meters) tall, featuring an enlarged head and right hand. These proportions were adjusted to ensure visibility from below, as the statue was originally intended to be placed on the cathedral's roof.
Denver International Airport's "Blue Mustang” sculpture is nicknamed "Blucifer" because of its glowing red eyes. Before its unveiling in 2006, the sculpture's artist died after a 9,000-pound piece of the Blue Mustang fell on him.
