This paper presents a formalist critique of the sculpture, analyzing its proportions, pose, and anatomical precision.

Through its marble medium and lifelike scale, David exemplifies High Renaissance ideals of humanism and beauty. The critique highlights Michelangelo’s mastery in balancing technical skill and expressive realism.
