Game, Set, Unmatched

Michelangelo's iconic Renaissance marble statue of David. The nude sculpture stands in a classical contrapposto pose, representing the power and quiet contemplation of David before his battle. The image is one of three artistic 'Davids' in the post, representing the 'set'.
Michelangelo
Gian Lorenzo Bernini's dramatic Baroque marble sculpture of David. The statue captures the moment of intense physical action, with David's body twisting as he prepares to launch the stone. The image represents the 'game' in the post's theme.
Bernini
A dark, dramatic painting by Caravaggio depicting David holding the severed head of Goliath. The painting’s intense realism and somber tones represent the final, tragic victory and the 'unmatched' intensity of this artistic interpretation.
