Michelangelo (6 March 1475 - 18 February 1564) The Marble Slab That Was Eventually Turned Into The Sculpture Of David By Michelangelo In 1504 Was Cut 43 Years Earlier For An Artist Named Agostino Di Duccio Who Planned To Turn It Into A Statue Of Hercules.
Di Duccio Abandoned His Sculpture, Which Was Originally To Be Installed In A Florentine Cathedral, And The Marble Was Unused For 10 Years Until Another Sculpture, Named Antonio Rossellino Decided To Work With It.
Rossellino Also Abandoned His Work Because He Found Marble Too Difficult To Sculpt, And, Eventually, Michelangelo Began Work On His Sculture In 1501.
