YMMV / David

• Awesome Art: The David was made out of a flawed block of marble that nobody thought could be salvaged.
• Best Known for the Fanservice: While the work masterfully tells the story and character of David in his appearance, stance, and expression, the work is best known for depicting an idealized male physique, including his... well, y'know. Whenever the work is brought up, it's almost certainly to reference David's beauty rather than anything else.
• Common Knowledge: Many people mistakenly think that Michelangelo Buonarroti's sculpture includes a fig leaf covering his privates, most likely due to it often being shown that way in cartoons and children's books. And because such a leaf is, in fact, sometimes used in case of some important yet sensitive visitors.
• Fan Wank: The statue depicts David — a Jewish man — as uncircumcised. Some have suggested that Michelangelo was trying to time-accurately show milah (the circumcision used before 2nd century AD, which only removed a bit of skin at the end) instead of periah (the whole circumcision established afterwards to make impossible to restore the foreskin). This is probably not Michelangelo's intention because the statue still shows no skin removed at all, and it's very unlikely that Michelangelo would have had access to such info in his time and place.
• Just Here for Godzilla: While the Galleria dell'Academia hosts other art, its patrons come mainly to see the David.
