after charging my phone at a cheap eat over lunch, I walked to the Academia Gallery. I’d heard David was tall, but I doubt much could have prepared me for just how magnificent Michelangelo’s muse truly was.
I was blown away and moved by this monumental piece of art in a way I haven’t been in quite some time.
at his feet I sat and read about his history. I looked into his eyes and thought of the millions who have gazed into them in adoration for centuries now. David stands proud as generations age and trends pass. David stands tall as monarchs die and bombs fall. David outlives all of us.
his beauty still astounds me. a highlight of my trip so far. <<
