Interesting you mention the fact about it being poorly displayed. I would say it is, but not because you don't often see this frontal view. As you may or may not know, the sculpture was originally meant to be displayed on the roof of the Duomo. Michaelangelo altered the proportions slightly so that it would appear to be correct when viewed from an extreme low angle.

Is _that_ why his right hand seems extremely elongated? I've always wondered. Viewed from a steep angle, I imagine it would look quite normal.
