Answer:
Fresco painting, method of painting water-based pigments on freshly applied plaster, usually on wall surfaces. ... The colours, which are made by grinding dry-powder pigments in pure water, dry and set with the plaster to become a permanent part of the wall.
Explanation:
There are three main types of fresco: buon, secco, and mezzo. The classic approach is the buon or “true” fresco, which involves painting onto freshly mixed and applied plaster. The wet plaster acts as the binding medium, so only water and pigment are needed.
Similarities include:
- Contrapposto pose where the weight is poised onto one leg with the other bent at the knee
- Both depict the figure of David. In comparison to other versions, (like Michelangelo’s most famously) these two show him with more traditionally feminine aspects
- Made of bronze
- David is wielding a sword (symbolism)
- Biblical imagery
- both commissioned by Medici family
Differences per artist
DONATELLO:
for context donatello had a really complex & troubled history with the catholic church. some interpret his version as satirical of the church or an innuendo because of smaller details like the placement of the feather going down his thigh
- in this way, he is adhering less to conventional Christian principles
- David’s frame is more boyish in this one, howd he kill a giant? though posed proudly or slenderly this also could heavily relate to religious undertones, as if he was assisted by Christ or is divine himself to accomplish slaying Goliath
- independence, strength, youth & beauty
- wearing only boots and a helmet
VERROCCHIO:
- the fact that david stands on Goliath’s detached head here adds a balance of masculine and militaristic values like strength or invincibly. this makes a statement of David as a conqueror or victor, unlike Donatello’s he looks more mature or manly which touches upon mortality rather than divine assistance. the accomplishment of man and mortal was really relevant as a renaissance theme
- Represents Florence’s growth/prosperity on the rise
- triumph over foes, masculinity, strength
sorry this is so long but I hope you find it helpful!! I had to do a similar project for ap euro and a lot of this stuck with me. let me know if I can clear anything up!! :)
According to Yahoos top answer for this exact question, it can be seen from the Pergamon Museum, in Berlin Germany.
ArcheologyTravel.com backs this up. the total of the article is "Babylon to Berlin and beyond: the Ishtar gate in the pergamon museum and around the world" It comments on the "striking reconstruction" of the wall.
Totally would check out the second site for more info!
