Chapter 167 "David" Bronze Statue

The exhibition was a success, and Annuo's "Hell Tour" conquered the hearts of most people.

The winged Jesus also quickly spread as an important image.

Some people even made up their own stories, saying that after Jesus was crucified on the cross, he received God's mercy. The weeping angels took off their feathers and gave Jesus wings to meet God.

The image of Jesus is holier than before.

It’s also a step further away from people.

It has to be said that human beings' ability to brainstorm and justify themselves is really powerful.

Annuo took this opportunity to immediately become famous, and all the dignitaries in Britain were discussing his "Hell Tour".

However, what Anno did next made the whole of Florence stunned.

Laurence Anno Falgao stated in public that he would donate his work "Inferno Tour", which caused an uproar in Florence, to the Catholic Church free of charge.

This made many nobles, collectors and connoisseurs anxious, and they were still eagerly waiting for this work to be sold.

But they had nothing to say. After all, donating, selling, or collecting it yourself were all Lawrence Anno's personal actions.

They can only remember the name Lawrence, a rising star in the art world.

For Anno, the noisy and busy November has finally come to an end, and December is the stage for Verrocchio.

"David" was finally completed. As a one-to-one proportion bronze statue that took more than half a year to complete at the end of the year, its exquisiteness and artistic height once again stirred the entire artist.

The young David is just like the one in the design drawing. He is high-spirited and has a natural posture. His eyes seem to be really emotional and he is looking into the distance confidently.

The long sword in his hand was extremely sharp, and at his feet was a human head. It was the head of the giant Goliath. There was still a wound on his forehead from the stone, and blood was oozing out.

David was also wearing clothes decorated with gold. Verrocchio gave this part directly to Anno to complete.

It goes without saying that Annuo is capable of independently completing many gold and jewelry works of art. He perfectly provided his own green leaves for the flower-like statue of "David".

The perfect delivery of the bronze statue of David raised the reputation of Studio Verrocchio to another level.

Anno just stayed quietly in Verrocchio's studio, studying and working, and part of the money he earned would be given to Uncle Fedino and Aunt Anna.

Another part of Annuo's life was spent on buying gems, pearls and gold.

He mainly studied this industry, and oil painting was only incidental.

These precious objects are worth a lot of money, so Anno is often in financial constraints, but he can always quickly turn around through his art.

His works are not many, but the quality is very good.

At the end of 1466, Anno was finally recognized by the Florentine Painters' Association and became a member. He had his own place in Florence. In this year, Anno was only 18 years old.

He rejected Verrocchio's request to form his own studio, and instead chose to rejoin Verrocchio's studio as a partner.

The time came to March 1467.

On this day, a young man knocked on the door of Verrocchio's studio.

"Excuse me, do you still need apprentices or handymen here?"
