The Giant

It's Florence, 1501, where a vast block of Carrara marble known as Il Gigante becomes the centre of conflict between two great artists when Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo compete for a prestigious commission to carve a statue of David

The result is one of the most iconic works of the Renaissance - but who was the model?
