MICHELANGELO DAVID WITH FIG LEAF POSTCARD

DAVID WITH FIG LEAF ... Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni (6 March 1475 – 18 February 1564). David is a masterpiece[1][2] of Italian Renaissance sculpture, created from 1501 to 1504 by Michelangelo. 'David' was provided with a marble fig leaf in the early 16th century which was not removed until 1912. In this image the David is in front of the Palazzo Vecchio before 1873, with the fig leaf. The statue soon came to symbolise the defence of civil liberties ... perhaps, a symbol we could use today. The largest size I could make here is this one at 18" x 27" x 1.5". I made the border color to match the fig leaf color. You cannot see the detail in the eyes until you buy this size. "BENEDICENTUR IN IPSO OMNES TRIBUS TERRAE" "AND IN HIM SHALL ALL THE TRIBES OF THE EARTH BE BLESSED" This quote reminds us ... Of Genesis 22:18 God's promise to Abraham, Fulfilled by Psalm 72:17 of King David to his son King Solomon, By Messianic Prophecy of the 'King of Kings': In the birth of Christ Jesus, Our Saviour.
