James, your article is so interesting, packed with historical, fun facts re: Forest Lawn's David and Michelangelo's oeuvre!
I enjoyed learning about the bronze portrait of Julius II for the Bologna Cathedral and its meltdown which resulted in the making of a cannon, ironically named "La Giulia".
Regarding Forest Lawn's marble David falling and breaking on a few occasions, I agree with the fact that the marble went through lots of stress from its point of origin to shipping and then to installation.
The image of Forest Lawn's fallen marble David's head looks like it's from an archaeological dig - an artifact! Can't wait to come see it.
Where does the bronze replica come from?
