Michelangelo's sculpture of David Apollo

Michelangelo's sculpture of David Apollo

This unfinished marble sculpture was created around 1530 and is now located at the Bargello Museum in Florence, Italy. This work was originally commissioned by the head of the Papal army, Baggio Valloli. Later, after Valloli was accused of treason and beheaded on the orders of Cosimo I de 'Medici, the sculpture was acquired by the Duke of Florence. The back of this sculpture is partially completed, with a rough surface that showcases Michelangelo's typical 'unfinished' style.
