One
of the greatest masterpieces of Renaissance art, Verrocchio's David,
is coming to the United States. This tour represents the first time in 527
years that David will be seen with the slain head of Goliath as Verrocchio
originally placed it, outside David's right foot. Verrocchio (c.
1435-1488) was a leading Florentine artist who had a profound impact on his
pupil Leonardo da Vinci and on Renaissance sculpture. In Washington, Verrocchio's
"David" Restored will
be presented in a rich context of works (drawn from the Gallery's permanent
collection) that reflect David's patronage, the artist's oeuvre, and
the iconography of David and Goliath.
