David, The Masterpiece – A Work Of Art

David by Michelangelo Florence Galleria dell’Accademia

David is a masterpiece of Renaissance sculpture, created in marble between 1501 and 1504 by the Italian artist Michelangelo. David is a 5.17-metre (17 ft 0 in) marble statue of the Biblical figure David, a favoured subject in the art of Florence.

This is art. This statue has been around for centuries. The human form is beautiful, complex, and a masterwork of its creator. Perhaps some folks should just calm down about things like this.
