Ok so obviously the guy is made out of stone but would you say it is true that David (pretending he is real and forgetting about his pathetic penis) has the perfect body because that apparently is what Michaelangelo had in mind when chipping away. Apparently everything is in the correct proportion to eachother suck as chest to abs, penis to thumb length etc
He only looks 'in proportion' when seen from several metres below, as he was sculpted to be put on a really high plinth. If you look at him straight on, he looks a bit odd; oversized head, weeny little legs, etc.
(^ geeky fact of the day )
I can think of more appealing examples of the male form. Michaelangelo's David looks a bit too teenage for my liking, tbh. So nah, not for me.
