David by Michelangelo
Almost three years in the making, this icon of Renaissance art today stands as the crown jewel of the Accademia Gallery. Michelangelo’s David can now be seen in The Tribune at Accademia Gallery under a skylight that was intended to appear as a halo above the structure.
Rape of the Sabines by Jean de Boulogne
In the Hall of the Colossus, stands this plaster cast model that was created by Jean de Boulogne. The model depicts in astonishing detail, three figures engaged in a serpentine motion. The entire structure was cut from a single block of marble.
Coronation of the Virgin by Jacopo Di Cione
If there ever was a panel painting that you need to see, it is this. The abundant use of the golden color gives the painting a strange radiance. The reason for this is that the painting was commissioned by the magistrates of the Mint.
Slaves by Michelangelo
This is a collection of four unfinished male nudes by Michelangelo. Initially, these statues hit many roadblocks until they were abandoned in an unfinished state. However, it is claimed that the statues were deliberately left in an incomplete state to better represent the effort of the slaves to free themselves from the marble rigidity.
