they are not balck, not in this video anyway.. it only appears so... optical elusion in a way... the eyes are hollowed to give the appearnace of pupills with an outer circle to give the appearance of an Iris.
Altering light, casting shadow may give the faint appearance of "Black eyes". But, as we all know, this Statue of David is made of pure marble... so the eyes would in fact have no color except that of the natural color of the marble. I doubt that anyone would be as presumptuous enough to color the eyes black, for whatever odd reason, and believe others to assume this as the original work of the artist.

Why you didn't put that paint of the two cherubs angels made by Raphael Sanzio? Thank you for the video.

why use 1920ies music by Prokofiev for a renaissance video ? that is a strange contrast. you might as well use pop music instead.
