Icon


The work above is an oil painting from 1610 by Michelangelo titled "David with the Head of Goliath". It is certainly an iconic work because it contains the iconic biblical characters David and Goliath. Both characters have been the subjects of many works of art because of what they and their story represent. As such, they have established themselves as icons in the art world.
