Michelangelo created the David statue in 1504 where it stood at Palazzo Vecchio until it was moved to the Accademia Gallery in 1873. A 14 foot replica has since replaced it. Another replica can be seen at Piazzale Michelangiolo which overlooks the city of Florence. In a similar fashion, this reproduction stands majestically on a balcony overlooking the inner courtyard at the Ringling Museum of Art in Sarasota, Florida.
