it is much bigger than that. The podium is about 6 feet, the rest is about 11 feet high totalling about 17 feet (this is the famous michaelangelo one).

Answer 3

No,  the statue itself is 17 ft and it is beautiful.

There is a copy in the Palazzio Veccio in Florence where it originally stood.

At present it is on display at the Academia Gallery in the centre of Florence but maybe moved as too many people flock there to see it.

His ankles are now showing signs of strain from the weight of his body (sculpted from a single block of marble).

Answer 4

Apparently you've never seen the statue of David.
