The gigantic marble statue of the biblical King David (c. 1501-1503) by the sculptor, painter, and architect Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564) indisputably is one of the most famous statues in the world. Originally intended to stand atop one of the spurs of the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence, Italy, for more than three hundred years it stood on a pedestal in Florence’s Piazza della Signoria close to the door of the town hall known as the Palazzo Vecchio, where it became a political symbol of Florence and then of Italy. Now an artistic and popular icon of nearly worldwide import, David is acclaimed as a superlative example of Renaissance art created by one of the most gifted artistic geniuses who ever lived. Inspiring millions of people over the course of its centuries- long existence, Michelangelo’s David also may be one of the most reproduced masterpieces the world has ever seen. In this publication, which was crowd funded and produced by means of the assistance of The Florentine Press, Coonin (James F. Ruffin Professor of Art History at Rhodes College, Memphis, TN; Ph.D, Art History, Rutgers University; the author of dozens of articles, essays, and catalogue entries as well as the editor of two books on Renaissance Art), a distinguished art historian who specializes in Italian Renaissance Art, writes the first ever “biography†of Michelangelo’s masterpiece, while attempting to answer the fundamental questions: What makes David so famous? Why does a 500-year-old statue of a religious figure continue to almost universally resonate with viewers? Examining his subject by means of a humanizing approach that adopts various methodologies and gives the statue and its history many lifelike qualities, the author covers the Origins, Adolescence, Maturity, Midlife Crises, and Golden Years of David. Beginning his story of the colossus long before Michelangelo secured its commission and continuing it into the 21st- century, Coonin recounts how what started simply as a monumental block of marble from a quarry in the mountains near Carrara, Italy, became in Michelangelo’s hands an embodiment of human accomplishment, perfection, magnificence, and beauty. Before and following the death of the artist in 1564, the statue endured a precarious existence on the Piazza della Signoria in Florence until it was moved to Florence’s Accademia Gallery of the Accademia delle Belle Arti during the summer of 1873, at which time it occupied what would become a specially- built space called the Tribune. During the 19th and 20th centuries, David came to be widely copied and reproduced. It appeared as and in various forms and media including casts, statutes, advertisements, body tattoos, and other commodities. Its imagery was appropriated, adapted, and/or modified by various groups, causes, and contemporary artists. Today while Michelangelo’s statue has achieved iconic status, it still remains threatened by environmental, physical, social, and other phenomena. Retelling the complete history of Michelangelo’s David up to present times, Coonin discusses all aspects of David's life and many topics, not limited to the statue’s predecessors, symbolism, and naturalism as well as the cultural, political, and social contexts in which it was viewed. He addresses many subjects about David and Michelangelo that still may be considered controversial such as their sexualities and the statue’s nudity. The author also sets forth a considerable amount of information about David’s restorations and the perils that he continues to face into the future. Scholarly yet very accessible and engaging, this noteworthy, well-presented, cleverly- conceived, first publication of its kind to consider Michelangelo’s masterpiece over the course of many centuries and in terms that humanize the statue and consider it as a living art object will be of significant interest to art lovers, students, scholars, and others. It is very highly recommended for many academic, special, and public libraries--C. A. Lajos, Art History, Architecture, Decorative Arts, Museum, and Visual Studies Book Review Blog, http://artbookreviewblogger.blogspot.com/
For all his fame (or infamy depending on your outlook) David by Michelangelo hasn't had many titles devoted to him like other works such as the Mona Lisa. This is surprising given how important he is to the history of Renaissance Art and Florence' tourist business. This book sets out to fix that and does it well. Mr. Coonin approaches the background history of Florence, the life of Michelangelo and how a contest to create an architectural sculpture that was not meant to be seen easily from the ground metamorphosed into the first colossal male nude since antiquity, with the resulting excitement, both positive and negative that came with it. As usual, there were egos and politics playing into where David would end up when he was finished. Strangely, he then faded into obscurity with only rare mentions via passing travelers. Who knew? Not until David had begun to deteriorate and lean did anyone in Florence sit up and take notice of him in the late 19th century. Only by the turn of the century David finally began to get his due and his heroic nudity, the mystery of his lack of a circumcision (given that he's Jewish) and the odd proportions of his feet, hands and head began to arouse questions from curious people. This book addresses all those things and more. I purchased the Kindle version of the book and loved that it was quick and easy to download and read, but my sole quibble is that the illustrations seemed not so great. I can't speak to the quality for sure as they might look just fine in print. I also wish that the book had been more heavily illustrated. I know, I know, some people might be a little embarrassed about a nice book about a colossal marble statue of a naked Jewish guy who's about to use his slingshot to zap Goliath (hence the glare he's giving looking off to his left) but still, this is art, not pornography. Just the same, for the text alone, this book is well worth the price. Add it to your collection if you enjoy Renaissance Art or Michelangelo, or even if you like nude, heroic art.
