Most Epic art in Italy

Michaelangelo's masterpiece needs no introduction. There was such anticipation created in me on the day I went to the academia dell Galleria where this legendry masterpiece is housed. A mere statue with so much tall around it and so much explanation. There are guided practically hired to get the best experience and understanding of this. I went on my own but like anyone else I had read up and the moment I saw the statue i was in awe of it. The sense of realistic depiction, and then not very accurate but with everything that michaelangelo did with this statue has a reason and explanation. That blows my mind. I kept staring at the right hand that was intentionally done bigger. Something else was quite small though. But coming back to the hand, my eyes were fixated in the veins and the way it looked as if it would move and David would come to life. I would say it is worth the hassle. Because there are huge ques to get in. Oh and get your tickets online, that won't get you in quickly by better than buying at the venue. It's a timed ticket, you have to come by that time for entry. This masterpiece is not to be missed. You get to brag for the rest of your life " I saw michaelangelo's David in person" haha #italytrip #michelangelostatue #museum #epic #summerdestinations #100waysoftravel
