    It really shows you the gap between the work of a genius and the work of talented people.

    You don’t realize how big that statue is until you see it in person. I tried to sneak a pic last time I was there and got caught. I really need to work on my ninja skills.

      The statue is huge and you really don’t know it until you see it. I was just blown away. I didn’t except it to be so great…

    I was dubious of this statue’s reputation before I saw it. It is the most remarkable sculpture I’ve ever seen – an extraordinary piece of art. Apart from the Unfinished Slaves in the first room, I was disappointed by the rest of the Accademia but this one sculpture alone makes it so worthwhile.

    Statue, yes is awesome. Real question is how did you get a picture while in there? There is only like 50k cameras and 3 roaming guards at all time there. We tried when I was there and got caught. To compromise we deleted the photo and bought the postcard at an over rated euro price. You do have Ninja skills

  6. thanks for the realistic picture of david. eventhough i’ve seen many on many magazines and all, but this seems to be very good, even if its little blured.
