The Medici: Godfathers of the Renaissance

1. Why was the Medici family so important in the development of the Renaissance?
A question ask a lot is "Would the Renaissance have gone in a different direction without these "Fathers of the Renaissance ?" The answer being yes. If it wasn't for the money that the father got because of business moves and sell, the artist would have to worry for money. They support a lot of the artist of the renaissance.


2. Why was Donatello's David so revolutionary?
Because it was the first time since the Roman's, that anyone try to make a freestyle nude man.

3. Describe this sculpture in detail.
It shows the aftermath that happen between the fight of David and Goliath. The statue is made out of bronze. It show David with pride, next to the sword that one belong to Goliath, as well as the head of goliath on the floor.
