- Worth noticing
- Its timeline starts with the marble block’s abandoned commissions and calls the Rome-facing gaze a local legend.
Field notes
The narrative traces the marble from its proposed cathedral placement through the 1504 decision to install David at the Palazzo Vecchio. It names the artists who took part in that placement debate and describes details such as the sling, the contrapposto pose, and the oversized hand and head. The page presents the Rome-facing gaze as a popular local legend rather than a documented fact.
