Answer 1

The correct answer is the third option. The Baroque epoch brought significant changes in the art of sculpture. Sculptures now became three-dimensional works that need space around them and challenge the viewer to walk around, unlike the Renaissance in which works have been strictly frontal, dictating the spectator to view it from only one side. Bernini’s David is inspired by common Biblical David, but the sculpture is no longer self-contained, but interacts with the space around it, portraying David in the act of throwing the stone at Goliath.
