Today our last day of being over seas. It was a sad day. We had to get in a few more tours before we could call it quits. We went to the Academia, this is where Michelangelo’s David stands. It is a beautiful piece of work. Everything is in perfect proportion with the exception of his hands and feet. This is because he was to be portrayed as a boy in adolescents. Where his hands and feet have begun to develop but he has not yet gained his stature. I thought this genius. I loved seeing all the unfinished sculptures. It is always nice to see another artist work process. Something so many people seem to miss by only gawking at the finished master piece.
We then headed to Ufitzi, this is another extremely large museum. We only seemed to focus on some key pieces. One of which is now a favorite of mine and this is the painting of Venus.
