Michelangelo’s David, the five-hundred-year-old marble statue, is regarded as an example of a perfect male body. \r\nHowever, he is found to have a flaw—having crossed eyes. The 28 was made during an exercise to produce a \r\ndigital version of all Michelangelo’s sculptures and buildings by scanning them with a laser. The result shows the gaze \r\ndirections of his eyes diverge. This is shown clearly in the full frontal image of David’s face, which cannot normally \r\nbe seen because the sculpture is 16ft tall, stands on an elevated base, and is viewed from ＿＿（29）＿＿ at an angle at \r\nwhich the face is obscured by the left hand. \r\nIt is believed that Michelangelo did this ＿＿（30）＿＿ , because it provided good profiles of David when seen from all \r\nsides. ＿＿（31）＿＿ , Michelangelo sculpted with not only human anatomy and common imperfections in mind, but also with \r\nthe viewing angle of the people on the ground. It wasn’t until science and photography enabled us to look at David in \r\nvarious angles and heights was it discovered that David’s eyes weren’t “perfect.” For non-technological viewing, \r\nDavid’s squinted eyes contribute to his stature and posture from all sides.
