The Hype is For Real

DAVID. Yes, his nakedness is apparent. But so are his hands and his head. They're huge.

And his posture. For a man who would become king, who slayed a mighty giant of an enemy, he doesn't stand as a proud, confident warrior. Rather he seems passive, defensive.

But there's something more that draws your eye. Not sure what it is... Perhaps the amazing craftsmanship, the attention to detail and reality... I find what is most striking is his face. His expression. His EYES.

I say all of this as an untrained, unknowing, "gazer" of art. But I understand why this piece of work is so highly treasured. Because it is a treasure indeed.
