Carving Block

Was Michelangelo's David carved from one block of marble?
Yes, it was carved from a single block. And it did not take four years. Michelangelo actually was a fast worker and very prolific. It only took him a year and change to paint the whole Sistine Chapel.
One thing about David though--it was originally commissioned by the Republic of Florence to go on top of the pedimenti of the Duomo, and when Michelangelo revealed his statue, the city fathers thought it too gorgeous to on the pedimenti (some 40 feet in the air), and chose to put it in the square instead. But the commission explains the extreme undercutting of the facial features--it was meant to be seen from below, and at a great distance.
