Was Michelangelo guilty of body shaming when he made the sculpture of David?

Asked by josie (30934points) December 4th, 2019

I’ve seen this statue a few times. It’s pretty impressive.

David is totally ripped, big shoulders, no body fat, and clearly comfortable having no clothes. (Sort of like me 15 or 20 years ago- oh well)

Is this an example of Renaissance body shaming?
