FlorenceDonatello sculpted his marble David in Florence. He was commissioned to sculpt it for the buttresses of the Cathedral, but it was never put in place and was moved to the Palazzo Vecchio. AnswerDonatello was commissioned for an initial sculpture of David in 1409 in marble to be placed at the butress of the Duomo in Florence, but it was moved in 1416 to the Palazzo Vecchio and stood as a symbol of civic pride. This marble sculpture is International Gothic in style with flowing, curving lines and a harmonious composition and did not yet embrace the psychological realism of the Renaissance. However, in 1430 Donatello sculpted a bronze version of David which displayed the new Renaissance principles, 'so natural in its vivacity and softness that artists find it hardly possible to believe it was not moulded on the living form,' Vasari.
