The city of Florence commissioned Michelangelo to create a freestanding statue of the Biblical hero David using a huge cracked block of marble that all other sculptors had abandoned. The resulting work, known as Michelangelo's David, is one of the most famous sculptures in the world. Donatello also created a statue of David, but it was not made from a cracked block of marble and was commissioned by a different patron. Leonardo and Raphael were painters, not sculptors.
