Art of Bronze is proud to offer Michelangelo’s masterpiece sculpture, David, in everlasting bronze.  The sculpture is cast in the ‘lost wax’ process capturing all the wonderful anatomy details of the standing nude male.  Enhance your home or office with one of the most famous sculptures in the world.

David, 1501-1504, is one of Michelangelo’s most-recognizable works.  Standing 13’5″ tall, the double life-sized David is depicted patiently waiting for battle, prepped with slingshot in one hand and stone in the other.  The twentysomething Michelangelo carved the David after he had already carved the Pieta in Rome in the late 1490s and returned to Florence in 1501.  Knowledge of his talent as a sculptor, therefore, was growing, and his career was accelerating when he was commissioned to carve the biblical David for the outside of the Florence Cathedral.  Because the statue was intended to be placed in a high location on the church, it had to be large enough to be seen from below.  Today, it resides not outside the cathedral, but inside the comfortable confines of the Accademia Museum in Florence.

We hope you enjoy browsing our wide-ranging selection of over 100 beautiful figurative & classical works of art cast in the ‘lost wax’ process.  Each sculpture is hand finished in a one-of-a-kind patina coloring.  Because of the process of heating up bronze and applying chemicals, no two patinas are exactly the same.  Additionally, our team of professionals can create custom patinas to meet your specific needs.  Additionally, our team of professionals can create brass plaques and attach custom-fitted black or green marble bases to each sculpture.
