Five centuries ago in a village called Florence, the Church Cathedral of Florence held a competition - to make a sculpture out of a huge marble rock. Great craftsmen like Leonardo da Vinci were also invited. On inspecting the rock, the craftsmen refused to make the idol because there was a huge hole in the base of the rock. The craftsmen were of the opinion that this rock is not capable of making crafts. Budding artist Michelangelo, 26, accepted the challenge. The craft he shaped by working on his goal continuously for two years became famous as 'Statue of David'. David's conversation with Goliath is described in an earlier work of the Bible.
The story of a craft... of conflict with oneself... Michelangelo's famous craft conveys many messages. In this, the craftsman showed the form of ideological-emotions before the war. According to the craftsman, the real war was with himself. David had to wrestle with himself and his own doubts. Life's secrets and lessons are hidden in this life philosophy of the craftsman.

It happened that a giant warrior named Goliath of Palestine challenged one of the Israelites to a duel. war with this match A decision had to be made. The question arose among the Israelites who would accept the challenge. A young man named David came forward and said that I will fight for the glory of the country, with this roar challenged Goliath. Well-wishers explained that look at your stature and the gigantic physique of Goliath, there is no possibility that you will win. David's determination and confidence were unshakable. To enter the competition, he took only a few stones and caves in the name of weaponry. Hitting Goliath sharply, Goliath fell to the ground. The Palestinians lost their courage to see their warrior lying like this and the Israelis celebrated the victory grandly.

Had to fight Michelangelo tried to show from his point of view that David's victory was, in fact, a triumph of confidence. As he prepared for the duel, David had only a stone in his hand, as if it were a representation of his confidence.

Even after 500 years, 'Statue of David' David is considered to be the most famous and inspiring sculpture. The question arises why? This is the majesty of Michelangelo's conceptual method and efficiency through which he gave a living ideological shape to the marble rock.
