Arco-Íris (Leiria, Portugal) on 13 December 2006 in Art & Design and Portfolio.

Michelangelo's David, sculpted from 1500 to 1504, is a masterpiece of Renaissance sculpture and one of Michelangelo's two greatest works of sculpture, along with the Pietá.

Tirei esta fotografia às escondidas dos vigias, uma vez que como é compreensível é proibido tirar fotografias ao homem mais belo do mundo. Mas confesso, não resisti...

LOL @ suby :)

Anyway, I think that the inclusion of people in the shot really gives the sculpture a sense of scale. Nice one.

Simplesmente fantástico. Poço quadro; aglomerar um commentary interessante; sentido maravilhoso da escala. Se somente houvesse um tradutor decent de Portugese em linha, eu comentaria mais frequentemente. Cheers.

Simply fantastic. Well framed; crowd an interesting commentary; wonderful sense of scale. If only there was a decent Portugese translator online, I would comment more often. Cheers.
