Listen "Episode 292 - Bernini's "David""
Episode Synopsis
Gian Lorenzo Bernini carved his statue of "David" in 1623 in only 7 months, interrupting his work working on the "Apollo and Daphne" to do so. His "David" shows the young shepherd boy in the act of casting the stone with an assortment of symbols surrounding him. Perhaps the most striking feature of the statue is the concentrated expression on its face which tradition maintains is a self-portrait of Bernini.
