I don't think that they found King David, arsed him out of his grave, slapped some body filler on his skeleton and then asked him to stand very still. I think the model may have been Italian, too.

DexX November 6, 2001 9:39 AM	Sorry Bunner, that wasn't actually directed at you. Sure, Michelangelo probably used a model, and almost certainly an Italian one (though you have to wonder where the hell the "Italian Stallion" cliche came from). I was referring to the Biblical figure it was based on. More generally, I was pointing out that the statue is about as Greek as Margaret Thatcher.

You'd be surprised. Michelangelo was a nice Italian boy who ... knew some people who were pretty influential. That David job was nothing for him. He did have to call in a few favors, though, to get God and Adam to come in for the Sistine Chapel job.

BTW, bunner, you've got some good comics; who models for you?
