9. Donatello’s David (1430) Michelangelo’s David (1501)

10. David, Donatello (1432)
-First nude sculpture since classical times
5.5 feet in height and 1.8 feet in diameter at the base, depicts ‘David’ of the legend “David and Goliath” standing with his left foot atop the head of the fallen Goliath. The figure holds the sword that he claimed from Goliath in his right hand, and his left hand is naturally placed on his hip holding a rock. He wears a leaf ringed hat upon his head and dons a pair of boots, but nothing more. The art work caused much controversy due to the depiction of the nude male body. The body of the statue is male, yet is constructed with a major overtone of femininity and subtle frailty. Some believe that Donatello purposefully did this in order to symbolize the intervention of God in the battle between “David and Goliath”; this is even more eminent in the carefree stance over the giant, Goliath, which the figure holds. 
(The victor is whoever defends the fatherland. God crushes the wrath of an enormous foe. Behold! A boy overcame a great tyrant. Conquer, o citizens.)

15. REALISM AND EXPRESSION

16. Chiaroscuro – Using contrast of light and dark to create depth
Tribute Money, Masaccio (1427)
Masaccio includes three different moments a the story in the same scene (a technique known as "continuous narrative"): At center, Peter asks Jesus why he should have to pay the tax collector's since his allegiance is only to God and not the Romans. Jesus's response is to "give to the Romans what is due to them and to the Lord what is due to Him. He instructs Peter to find the money by going fishing (at the left, Peter extracts a coin from the fish's mouth); and, to the right, Peter hands the tribute money to the tax collector in front of his house.
