VIDEO: Verocchio’s David Restored
Verrocchio’s David at the High travels back in time to Renaissance Italy where Verrocchio created his bronze statue of David.
After centuries of neglect, this masterpiece has been fully restored to its original glory. You’ll find out how Atlanta became the first city in America to see this great work of art.
