Contrast Bernini's David to Michelangelo's David.
What will be an ideal response?
The ideal answer should include:
- Bernini's David is the epitome of the theatrical character of the Baroque and seems to have been made in direct contrast to Michelangelo's work of the same name.
- Bernini's David is in fluid and extreme motion; Michelangelo's David is at rest in contrapposto and Classical in presentation.
- Bernini's David looks strong and confident; Michelangelo's David seems contemplative.
- The Bernini example employs the Baroque drama of interacting with his own space; Michelangelo's David is self-contained.
