Donatello's David is the first freestanding life-size nude male statue since antiquity, created around 1440. This bronze sculpture marked a pivotal moment in Renaissance art through its naturalism and independence from architecture. It symbolizes civic virtues and reflects a renewed interest in classical ideals of the human body.
