Michelangelo saw something-someone-special in the stone.No one wanted the giant. The hulking block of marble lay in the work yard, rained on, hacked at, and abandoned-until a young Michelangelo saw his David in it.Night and day, Michelangelo worked in secret, lovingly coaxing statue out of the stone. Its majesty endures even today.This is the story of how a neglected, discarded stone became a masterpiece for all time. It is also a story of how humans see themselves reflected in art.Back matter includes further information about David and a selected bibliography
