Talk:David (Bernini)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Interwiki links are erroneously pointing to Bernini in other languages, rather than Bernini's David. I fixed the he link, but all others are still incorrect.

[edit] I'm removing a NEUTRALITY DISPUTED tag because

Avery and Finn in their book Bernini call his David "a radical interpretation of his subject" while Wittkower, in his book on Bernini points out that in his Pluto Abducting Proserpina [Bernini's last work prior to doing this David] that Bernini, "rid his style of the last vestiges of Mannerism." Post, in his two volume history of sculpture, also points to the David,and writes that it [ and the concurrent Apollo and Daphne ] "exhibits a technical dexterity rarely, if ever. equaled, in the world's history." This all seems to support the claim made in the article that the piece was "revolutionary" and so I am removing the "neutrality disputed" tag.

I had athe time of this posting added sources to back up this statment. Someone has since removed them. So.. i'm about to add them back as sources rather then additional reading. Carptrash 15:26, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
