Davide after Bernini

Davide (Bernini)

Strength frozen mid-motion, a hero’s might,
In chiaroscuro’s glow, shadows ignite.
A timeless gaze, intent and bold,
The story of David eternally retold.

This acrylic painting reinterprets Bernini’s sculpture, blending classical elements with modern vibrancy. The intricate anatomy is highlighted with dramatic shading and color contrasts, capturing tension and form. The background introduces a contemporary touch, with expressive strokes and bright hues juxtaposing the classical figure. This work bridges tradition and modernity, celebrating the timelessness of art.
