The biblical story of David slaying Goliath inspired three Renaissance artists to create sculptures during the 64-year span from 1440 to 1604. While all three statues of David were developed (and still on display there) in Italy, they are very different in many ways. Donatello’s David was caste in bronze marble and unveiled around 1440. The statue’s nudity and perceived homosexuality made it very controversial. David appears to be a young teen that stands smiling triumphantly with his foot…

character flaws and the “David vs. Goliath” motif. Differences are also apparent in these two stories: a battle of good vs. evil and the offspring of a god/goddess, for example. Character flaws show up in almost every story ever told. In the “Epic of Gilgamesh”, Gilgamesh had a serious flaw, pride. He was the King of Uruk, and he knew it.
