iginally it was a block of marble, an enor-
mous block of white marble, belonging to
the Opera del Duomo of Florence, excavated
with the intention of carving out a giant: a David
or a Prophet for one of tile buttresses of the
Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore. Initially the
work was entrusted to the sculptor Agostino di
Duccio (1462) and later to Antonio Rossellino
(1476) but both were forced to give up in face of
the enormous technical difficulties. The block
of marble was not compact, it was riddled with
veins and above all it was tall and narrow, more
suitable for slender gothic statues than for the
muscular, active representations of Renaissance
heroes. Leonardo da Vinci was also approached.
and although he had a considerable experience
in bronze sculpturc, the artistic genius declined
the offer and the roughly hewn block of marble
