"David"

On this date in 1504 Michelangelo's sculpture of "David" was unveiled. It had taken three years to complete and stood 17 feet 5 inches tall. Over the years it has faced challenges - it wa struck by lightning in 1512, had its arm broken off in 1527 (a new one was made), it was covered by wax in 1812. Some 30 years later it had a hydrochloric acid bath leaving it scratched and porous. Location - Florence Italy
