Commentary
Exemplaire issu du médaillier Franklin qui met à l’honneur une sculpture de Michel-Ange; David : L’adolescent qu’a sculpté Michel-Ange est un athlète puissant, « magnification du nu viril», là où l’on avait vu dans le David de Donatello, sculpté soixante ans plus tôt, « un héros androgyne à la beauté d’éphèbe ». Le David de Donatello et celui de Verrocchio montrent le jeune héros exhibant le glaive avec lequel il vient de trancher la tête de Goliath, et foulant celle-ci à ses pieds. Michel-Ange, lui, a choisi de représenter David avant le combat, au moment où il défie le géant Goliath. Son attitude, un contrapposto nerveux (le poids du corps repose sur une seule jambe et la ligne des hanches fait opposition à celle des épaules), trahit une « violence contenue ». Il s'apprête à lancer, avec sa fronde (dont la courroie passe au-dessus de son épaule et le long de son dos), la pierre qui va frapper au front son ennemi.
Médaille sculptée par Dominic Angelini.
Théoriquement, le poinçon crabe est censé indiquer un titrage à 800 millièmes.
example from the Franklin medalist, which showcases a sculpture by Michelangelo; David: The adolescent sculpted by Michelangelo is a powerful athlete, a \\\"magnification of the virile nude,\\\" whereas in Donatello's David, sculpted sixty years earlier, we saw \\\"an androgynous hero with the beauty of an ephebe.\\\" Donatello's David and Verrocchio's David show the young hero displaying the sword with which he has just severed Goliath's head, and trampling it under his feet. Michelangelo chose to depict David before the fight, at the moment when he challenges the giant Goliath. His attitude, a nervous contrapposto (the weight of the body rests on a single leg and the line of the hips opposes that of the shoulders), betrays a \\\"contained violence.\\\" He is preparing to throw, with his sling (the strap of which passes over his shoulder and along his back), the stone that will strike his enemy in the forehead. Medal sculpted by Dominic Angelini. Theoretically, the crab hallmark is supposed to indicate a fineness of 800 thousandths
