Who is Michaelangelo's David?

Answer 1

Go to Florence and look at it/him.
It is a statue of David (from the legend David and Goliath)

Answer 2

The David in Michelangelo's sculpture is the biblical David of the Old Testament (also the Quran).
The story goes that the Israelites, under King Saul, went off to fight the Philistines, with the prize for victory being the subjugation of the loser. The Philistines sent out their champion, Goliath (a hulking, almost-ten foot tall brute) to challenge the Israelites, but no one would come forward. For 40 days Goliath issued his challenge, with still no takers, until the hero shrimp David came forward, with only a few stones and some sticks as his weapons. At this, Goliath began to guffaw, and in the middle of his unpleasant mocking of his adversary, David took the opportunity to take a sling from his pocket and wang Goliath in the head with one of his stone. Goliath fell, stunned, and David went over and used the Philistine's own sword to cut off his head. The battle was won, and the Philistines beat a retreat from Judea.
David later became King of the Israelites, and is usually credited with being the wisest and most righteous of all the ancient Kings of Israel. He was a poet, a musician and a warrior, and is credited with writing many of the Psalms.

Answer 4

the biblical David...... although it is speculated that several people posed for different aspects of the finished piece it is said that David came from one sign piece of carrera marble that weighed in at 17 ton when it was delivered to his work studio and that he supervised the cutting of it at the quarry so he got the exact piece he wanted to start with

Answer 5

it sure ain't David, for David was a Jew, and the model of the statue was obviously a gentile, probably with a name like Guido.
