3. Michelangelo's David

Aussie comedian and art historian Hannah Gadsby continues her comedy lectures about four masterpieces of art.

This time she takes a look at Michelangelo's 'David', the 17ft statue he created between 1501 and 1504.

Born in Tasmania, Hannah got to know a lot about art from books. But it was only in her 20s when she visited Europe for the first time, that she saw the art she'd studied 'in the flesh', so to speak.

There in Florence she fell in love with David so she shares her affection for and knowledge of him, with all his imperfections.

Hannah is joined on stage by her very own 'Quotebot' who is inputted with every quote that's ever been written about art.

Written and performed by Hannah Gadsby.

With her Quotebot aka John Lloyd.
