We just learned about the Renaissance sculpture of David by Michelangelo.
Another famous sculpture from this time is Judith and Holofernes by Donatello in 1464 in Italy.
This sculpture was different because it was meant to be looked at from all sides, not just the front.
It is a sculpture of a woman named Judith.
In the story of Judith, there was a man named Holofernes who was the leader of an army that wanted to kill her people.
She tricked him into thinking that she liked him, and then when he was sleeping she killed him to save her people and stop the war.
Some people from the town of Florence look at this story as an example of a humble servant winning the battle against a wicked person full of pride.
