The centerpiece of the Accademia is Michelangelo’s ‘David.’ Dominating the main hall’s exhibition space, this iconic sculpture has become synonymous with the splendor of the Renaissance era. Take your time to fully engage with this work of art and admire its details from every angle.
Michelangelo was in his early twenties when he sculpted this figure from a single block of Carrara marble. Standing at 17 feet (5.17 meters) tall, it depicts the biblical hero David, famed for his victory over Goliath. Revealed to the public in 1504, it quickly became a symbol of the Florentine Republic’s commitment to civil liberties.
Beyond ‘David,’ the Accademia houses a collection of Michelangelo’s unfinished sculptures, as well as an array of pieces by Botticelli, Paolo Uccello, Andrea del Sarto, among others. Your guide will provide enlightening commentary on the artworks during your tour.
