Answer the following question in 3-4 complete sentences. Name the subject of the sculpture, its artist. In comparison with other sculptures of this Biblical figure, what can be observed? Why do differences exist among artwork when using the subject matter?

Answer:

The sculpture is of David, by Bernini. In comparison to other sculptures of David, Bernini sculpted David in an active pose, in the middle of combat, while others have sculpted David in a relaxed way. The differences are most likely because of the view each artist has, based on cultural, economic, and political circumstances that exist at the time in which they created their art.
