David of Michelangelo Tshirt

This t-shirt is decorated with the image of David. In 1501, 25-year-old Michelangelo Buonarroti (6 March 1475 ñ 18 February 1564) begins working on his colossal masterpiece, the 17-foot-tall marble David. From a huge block of marble that has been abandoned decades earlier by another sculptor, Michelangelo cuts out his David. It is erected in 1504 in the public plaza of Florence, the Piazza della Signoria. In 1873, the original is moved to the Accademia delle Belle Arti, where it is better protected for posterity, and a copy of the work is erected in the plaza in 1882.
