Avec son David, Le Bernin, âgé d’à peine vingt-cinq ans, se mesure avec l’icône insurpassable de la Renaissance italienne, le David de Michel-Ange, l’un comme l’autre symbolisent à la perfection l’art de leur temps : autant l’œuvre michelangelesque est posée, digne, racée, élégante, autant Le Bernin parvient, en représentant David sur le point de lancer son projectile à l’aide de sa fronde, le torse tourné, le visage grimaçant d’effort, à réunir tous les éléments de l’art baroque : l’énergie, le mouvement, le dynamisme.- (please add an English translation of this quotation)
