This marble sculpture (1623–24) captures David in a twisting stance, body coiled as his hand grips the sling. Muscles, drapery, and focused gaze all align with the implied arc of the stone. Commissioned by Cardinal Scipione Borghese, it exemplifies Baroque interest in movement and psychological intensity, turning a biblical hero into a study of concentrated action.
