Answer:
They have a contrapposto pose seen in Classical Greek and Roman sculpture.
Explanation:
<u>Contrapposto is the Italian term for the pose named “counterpoise”. This pose presents a person that stands up so that most of their weight is balanced on one leg, with others just for support.</u> The shoulders and collarbone are rotated slightly on one side (going “down” on the side of the weight), while the hips and pelvis are rotated on another side in the counter direction.
We see both Donatello and Michelangelo have used this pose in their sculptures. <u>Examples of Dontallo’s usage are evident in his statues of David (both statues) and St George. Michelangelo’s statues done in counterpoise are, for example, Bacchus and David.</u>
