“David” by Michelangelo

So far on this list, we have gone over paintings. But sculptures like Michelangelo’s “David” hold some hidden secrets as well. In 2007, the “Digital Michelangelo Project” from Stanford University discovered that if you look at the statue from below, David looks calm and confident. But when you look at the statue from above, he looks very tense, because he is getting ready to battle the giant Goliath.
