Michelangelo’s David is on display in Florence, Italy. When you see it, whether or not you are an art lover, you are amazed by Michelangelo’s accomplishment. Michelangelo, in his lifetime, accomplished much more than just the statue of David (such as the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel).
What we need to remember about this artistic genius is that despite all of his obvious skills, and all the statues and paintings he was able to produce in his lifetime, he always considered himself to be a student of art. At the age of 87, he was quoted as saying, “Still, I learn.”
