As regards book sources, no one book deals with only the theme of David!. But every good book on any of these artists will refer to this statue!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Consider their place in the canon of art!.
Classical ideals and how they were embodied in sculpture!.
The male view: who is going to look, who is it by and what they want you to see!.
Discuss the materials used and the size of the piece!. Where it was to be displayed and who was it made for!.
Was it reflective of the patron!?
Be aware more than one version may exist!.!.does that tell you anything!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well, for articles on History, I usually go to Jstor and Project Muse!. They are great places to find historical data and articles by some of the best historians out there!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
