Raphael after Michelangelo Statue of David from the back ca. 1505-08 drawing British Museum |
Michelangelo completed his statue of David in 1504. It became immediately famous, as it has remained ever since, and the young Raphael drew it from several angles. Raphael's intention was NOT to render any kind of accurate reproduction, but to assimilate this new work to his own purposes – "he modified the proportions of the head and the hands and altered the pose so as to give more flowing elegance to the line."
