One more: Bernini's sculpture of David is a groundbreaking exploration of intense psychological states, such as the anger seen here. The eyebrows are deeply furrowed and he tightly bites his lower lip.
Some experts also suggest that the sculptor was influenced by Leonardo da Vinci's writings on movement. In his Treatise on Painting, Da Vinci addresses precisely the challenge of rendering a figure in mid-throw. It's plausible that Bernini incorporated this theoretical insight into his rendition of David.
“If you represent him beginning the motion, then the inner side of the outstretched foot will be in line with the chest, and will bring the opposite shoulder over the foot on which his weight rests. That is: the right foot will be under his weight, and the left shoulder will be above the tip of the right foot.” — Leonardo Da Vinci
