When I walked into the Verrocchio exhibit at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C, I thought I HAD to be looking at a copy or a model of the original Verrocchio masterpiece of David standing over the head of Goliath. There was NO POSSIBLE WAY the Bargello (the great sculpture museum in Florence) had shipped Verrocchio’s ORIGINAL statue all the way to America… right?! WRONG.
