Stone Giant: Michelangelo's David and How He Came to Be

Michelangelo saw somethingâ€”someoneâ€”special in the stone.

No one wanted the â€œgiant.â€ The hulking block of marble lay in the work yard, rained on, hacked at, and abandonedâ€”until a young Michelangelo saw his David in it.

Night and day, Michelangelo worked in secret, lovingly coaxing statue out of the stone. Its majesty endures even today.

This is the story of how a neglected, discarded stone became a masterpiece for all time. It is also a story of how humans see themselves reflected in art.

Back matter includes further information about David and a selected bibliography
