Michelangelo's fame (名声) as a great artist began to grow. He returned to Florence and was asked to create a large statue of David. It took him a couple of years to finish the giant statue. The piece of marble (大理石) he began with was very tall and thin. Many people didn't think he could do much with it. He worked without letting anyone see it until it was finished. David became Michelangelo's most famous work of art. It is thirteen feet tall and is the largest statue made since Ancient Rome. It is considered by many experts in art to be a nearly perfect sculpture. Today the statue sits at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence, Italy.
