The more I work on the David painting the more I appreciate the devine genius of Michelangelo. I know he was part of the revival of classic sculpture and there may well have been classical sculptors with his talent but that just doesn’t take away the sheer brilliance of the man. Every feature has been hewn out of the living rock – however he achieve this is just … well I’m lost for superlatives. Perhaps this is the lasting lesson I’ll take away from this exercise – understanding what it takes to make a work of art. Not a bad lesson.
