David, by Michelangelo is probably one of the most famous sculptures i know of. I feel like i've grown up with this sculpture.What i love about this sculpture is that it's been around for thousands of years and is still in tact. the detail is impressive and furthermore it doesn't create implant the image that "real" men have like eight packs and muscles the size of boulders as shown in todays society. Rather, this body is actually attainable and natural. I dunno. This guy is naked and doesn't give a damn if anyone sees. He's got this confidence not found in many people and if people have that confidence it's usually because they are douche bags. This man was a hero. His arms aren't too big his body is proportionate. His sculpted body is perfect. Strong yet kind and gentle. He looks intimidating but at the same time you know he's not like that. He stands with elegance and with a delicate balance. He is grace and power all in one.
The next piece is Allegory by Agnolo Bronzino. What can i say? This piece kind of upsets me in many ways. I hate the way it's painting i hate the look in the eyes of every subject in this painting. The baby with the flowers looks mischievous the head behind her looks evil. There's a girl in the top left corner that looks like she's about to be molested or raped by the old man in the top right corner and a woman on the left that looks insane or in great despair. The woman in the front looks like she's about to kiss the evil looking devil woman with angel wings. Everything seems a little ironic for me. I hate the style of painting. I've never seen babies with faces that look like their 10 with bodies that look like their 3. This painting is very sexual and offensive to my eyes. If the man in the top right corner is God then it's like no matter what evil is going on it doesn't matter because God doesn't care because he's busy doing evil on his own. I feel like this is a very twisted picture from a sac-religious man who hates the catholic or christian religion.
