The English Wikipedia article on Michelangelo's marble statue David, carved between 1501 and June 1504, standing 517 by 199 centimetres. The article identifies the subject as the biblical David shown before his battle with Goliath, captured in a moment of contemplation rather than triumph, records the statue's original 1504 installation in the Piazza della Signoria in Florence, its 1873 removal for protection and 1882 permanent installation in the Galleria dell'Accademia, the 1910 replica placed at the original outdoor site, and a history of damage including stoning during the 1504 move, a broken left arm in 1527 political unrest, and toe damage from 1991 vandalism.
