What I came across while making fact sheets for one of my classes:
Michelangelo Buonarroti,
David
, from Piazza della Signoria, Florence, Italy, 1501-1504. Marble, 17' high. Galleria dell'Accademia, Florence.
Juxtaposed with
Florence Studio, Wonderful World, "Beautifully Big" collection,
David
.
And
Sandro Botticelli,
Birth of Venus
, ca. 1484-1486. Tempera on canvas, 5' 9" x 9' 2". Galleria degli Uffizi, Florence.
With
Florence Studio, Wonderful World, "Beautifully Big" collection,
Venus
.
Ohh yes. My god. Trashy, gaudy. Art imitating life? They're both unrealistic in some way: Michelangelo's idealized
David
versus Florence Studio's musculature on the surface of his fat.
