Chapter 167 'David' bronze statue

The exhibition was successful, and Annuo's "Travel in Hell" conquered the hearts of most people.
The winged Jesus also spread rapidly as an important image.
Some people even figured out the story that Jesus was crucified and received mercy from God. The weeping angels took off their feathers and created wings for Jesus to meet God.
The image of Jesus is more holy than before.
It's also one step away from people.
It has to be said that human brain and self-confidence are really powerful.
Anno took this opportunity to become famous, and the powerful people in Florence were discussing his "Travel in Hell".
However, what Anno did later made the entire Florence dumbfounded.
Lawrence Anno Falgo said in public that he would donate his works to the Catholic Church free of charge "Travel in Hell", which caused an uproar in Florence.
This made the nobles, collectors and connoisseurs anxious, and they were still waiting for the work to be sold.
But they had nothing to say. After all, donating, selling or collecting it themselves is just the personal behavior of Lawrence Anno.
They can only remember the name Lawrence, a rising star in the art world.
For Anno, the noisy November finally came to an end, and December is the stage for Verocchio.
"David" has finally been completed. As a one-to-one copper statue that took more than half a year to finally be completed at the end of the year, its exquisiteness and artistic height have once again stirred up the entire art world.
The young David was the same as in the design drawing, with a high spirit and natural posture, and his eyes seemed to be really emotional and looked at the distance confidently.
The sword in his hand was extremely sharp, with a human head at his feet, which was the head of the giant Goliath. He also had a wound hit by a stone on his forehead, and blood was leaking out.
David was also wearing clothes decorated with gold, and Verocchio handed over this part to Anno to complete.
It is natural to say that Anno's level, which is enough to independently complete many gold and jewelry art works, perfectly presented its own green leaves to the flower-like statue of David.
The perfect delivery of the bronze statue of David has once again increased the reputation of Verocchio Studio.
Anno stayed quietly in Verocchio's studio, studying and working, and part of the money earned would be given to Uncle Fedino and Aunt Anna.
Another part, Anno spent on buying gems, pearls and gold.
What he mainly studied was this industry, and oil painting was just accompaniment.
These precious objects are valuable, so Anno is often in financial difficulties, but he can always quickly turn it around through his own art.
He has not many works, but the quality is very good.
At the end of 1466, Anno finally gained recognition from the Florentine Painters Association and became one of the members. He had his own position in Florence. This year, Anno was only 18 years old.
He rejected Verocchio's request to set up a studio by himself, and chose to rejoin Verocchio's studio by partner.
Time came March 1467.
On this day, a young man knocked on the door of Verocchio's studio.
"May I ask, do you still need an apprentice or a handyman?"
