Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "David (Michelangelo)" in English language version.
Three samples (F17G, F18G, and F19G), weighing on the whole about 120 mg, were available for the measurements. They all originate from the second toe of the left foot of the David, partly destroyed by an act of vandalism that occurred in 1991 [...] The results of discriminant analysis carried out using the complete set of five variables, fully confirms these findings. The assignments of the David's marble to the Miseglia district and to the Fantiscritti quarries is supported by high values of the probability parameters, well above the thresholds set as limits of reliability.
The David in Florence's Accademia is young Michelangelo's masterpiece.
...a masterpiece of throbbing vitality.
in Latin: Spectabiles etc. viri Consules Artis Lane una cum dominis Operariis adunati in Audentia dicte Opere, elegerunt in sculptorem dicte Opere dignum magistrum Michelangelum Lodovici Bonarroti, civem florentinum, ad faciendum et perficiendum et perfecte finiendum quendam hominem vocato Gigante abozatum, brachiorum novem ex marmore, existentem in dicta Opera, olim abozatum per magistrum Augustinum grande de Florentia, et male abozatum, pro tempore et termino annorum duorum proxime futurorum, incipiendorum kalendis septembris.
Most of the cleaning involved distilled water, although mineral spirits were used to remove yellowish spots of centuries'-old beeswax. Parnigoni used plaster to fill considerable pitting on the marble's surface that was serving as dirt traps. Parnigoni also wielded a scalpel-like instrument to chip away at what looks like age spots – blotches of sulfate deposits that were first blamed by the experts on pollution but later attributed to restorations centuries ago.
