The piazza in front of the seat of government, the Palazzo Vecchio, is perhaps the most propagandistic setting for public sculpture anywhere, with each work displaying the power either of the Medici family or of the Republic of Florence. Two sculptures in particular stand out as representative of the battle, not only between these two factions of government, but also between the republican and loyalist artists who created these works: Michelangelo and Bandinelli. Their David and Hercules and Cacus are perfect examples of fifteenth- and sixteenth-centuries political propaganda.

Michael Morford teaches art history at the Savannah College of Art and Design. He earned B.F.A. and M.A. degrees from Texas Christian University and his Ph.D. from Case Western Reserve University. His published biographies and catalogue entries appear in a corpus on sixteenth-century Italian drawing.
