Finally, there is Bernini's David, which is notably different from those of Donatello, Verrocchio and Michelangelo. Bernini emulated neither Donatello's triumphant boy victor nor Michelangelo’s posturing adolescent. His hero is full-grown and fully engaged-both physically and psychologically-as he takes aim and twists his tensed, muscular body a split second before slinging the stone, grasped in his left hand. David stands alone, but Goliath is simplicity envisioned directly behind the viewer. As a viewer, we are tempted to duck. It is the anticipation of violent action that heightens this confrontation as David's latent power is momentarily arrested (Scribner 66).
