Regarding Donatello's David, Julie Mentions Term Paper

As compared to Donatello and Michelangelo's representation of DAVID,
that of Bernini is very different, due to being almost frozen in action
after slaying Goliath. Julie mentions that this sculpture is a combination
of the heroic and the romantic, an observation that is supported by the
fact that during the Baroque period, circa 1623, "the pose and attitude of
sculptures like Bernini's David were created to express the heroism of the
age and the ideals of romanticism which would come of age during the
Enlightenment" (de la Croix, 587).
Thus, it clear that these magnificent works of art symbolize the
relationship between man and his place in the natural world via "a new
search for forms capable of expressing the ideals of humanism and the role
of man in the universe" (de la Croix, 578).
