Donatello's David

Donatello's David is known as the first large scale nude sculpture in the Renaissance period. It was very controversial because of it's nudity and it's feminine features. I think Donatello liked causing a big commotion, what we would call publicity. His hat seems a little girly but that was what the shepherds wore, and most assume the same for his open toes boots. Michelangelo was reportedly highly influenced by Donatello's work.
