1) The Medici family was highly ranked during the Renaissance. They were rich bankers which they also bankrolled the church and also helped out a lot by contributing to what florence is today in an art aspect such as sponsoring michaelangelo.
2) Donatello's David was very unique because sodomy was illegal during this time period which made it really stand out by showing everyone that they did not care.It was also the first statue of a nude person during this time period. Since the statue was so "rule breaking" in a way it could be called the statue of revolution in my perspective.
3) Donatello's David is a statue of a man holding a sword with his foot on a head as if he defeated a beast. He is completely naked while holding the sword of goliath.
