[The comparison intended here is between the following four Davids:

David’ by Donatello,; bronze; height 158cm (62in); c[irca]1430[ce]. Museo Nazionale. Florence.

David’, by Andrea del Verrocchio; bronze; height 126cm (50in); c[irca]1465. Museo Nazionale. Florence.

David’ marble statue by Michelangelo, 1501-04[ce] in the Accademia, Florence. Height 5.49m.

David’ by Bernini: marble; height 170cm (67in); 1673[ce]. Museo e Galleria Borghese, Rome. (illustrated above)

The three not shown are reproduced from the source text in the ms but not in the ts; illustrations are readily available elsewhere and should be compared with the fourth (shown above).]
