During World War II, Michelangelo’s famous statue of David was encased in bricks to protect it from bombing raids. Moving the statue to a safer location was deemed technically challenging.
Interestingly, the back of the statue remains unfinished, which is why it stands against a wall and was not intended for 360-degree viewing.
Standing over 5 meters tall, including its pedestal, David was unveiled to the public by Michelangelo in 1504.
