David images were fairly prolific in the Renaissance becuase of the duality of the symbolism of the figures of David and Goliath. David alternately represented the republic vanquishing Goliath's tyranny and Monarchy and at other times represented the Medici family's victory over the Republic. So depending on who was in power in Renaissance Florence the David could be attributed varying symbolism, though the image of power and authority was always prominent.
Michelangelo is the only one who trully qualifies as "High Renaissance" with his 1504 David.
Be careful of many other choices, Berning verges on the Baroque (did he even do a David?)
Donatello has a great David from the 1440s but he still qualifies as early Renaissance.

The person whose answer was "Michelangelo and Donatello" is correct about Bernini's David being Baroque, and therefore coming after the High Renaissance (about 100 years later). But I would argue that Donatello came before the High Renaissance, which is usually thought to have occurred in Italy between around 1500 and 1530. Donatello created his David around the 1440s. Verrocchio did a pretty famous David sculpture around 1475, but that is still earlier than High Renaissance.
The Frick Collection in New York has a David by an unknown artist from Florence, dated early 16th century. See and do a search on "David."
By the way, Michelangelo's full name is cited in many ways, but never as "Angelo." He's most often called Michelangelo because he is so famous (like Leonardo da Vinci is often called Leonardo), but if his family name is given, it's usually Michelangelo Buonarroti.

Michelangelo
sculpted from 1500 to 1505, is a masterpiece of Renaissance sculpture and one of Michelangelo's two greatest works of sculpture, along with the Pietà .
Bernini's David (1623-24) is a life-size marble sculpture by Gian Lorenzo Bernini. Collected by Bernini's main patron Cardinal Scipione Borghese, it is now in the Galleria Borghese.
