Cast from the famous sculpture completed by Michelangelo in 1504, it depicts a young, confident David poised to lash out with his sling at the giant, Goliath. The original is located in Florence, Italy and is considered to be on of the finest sculptures in the world.In 1971, the "David" statue was given to the city and to Augustana College by Thomas Fawick, a Sioux Falls Native who made a fortune as an inventor and automobile manufacturer. The statue of "David" generated considerable controversy in the city when it first arrived. Some felt a nude body displayed in public was not only in bad taste, but would have a bad effect on the community's moral values. The statue was placed facing away from traffic, and trees were planted to screen it from the street.Creator: Highsmith, Carol M., 1946-, photographerOriginal Date: 2009 September 14.Subject: AmericaSubject: DavidSubject: MichelangeloSubject: United States--South Dakota--Sioux FallsCollection: Carol M.
