2David’s Eyes Are Flawed

Historians, academics and viewers have always thought of David as the epitome of classical and artistic perfection. However, Stanford University’s Digital Michelangelo Project revealed that the statue’s eyes point in different directions; his right eye looks off into the distance while the right remains fixed forward.

This flaw remained unnoticed for hundreds of years, and is claimed by some to be the intentional work of Michelangelo to give the statue an imperfect attribute.
