Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564), ?Nude? print of sketch
Michelangelo Buonarroti was born on March 6, 1475 in Caprese, Italy. At the age of 13, he was apprenticed to Domenico Ghirlandaio, who at the time was painting a chapel in the church of Santa Maria Novella in Florence. Here, the young Michelangelo learned the technique of fresco (painting on fresh plaster before it dries); he would use this technique many years later in his work in the Sistine Chapel in Rome.
In 1534, Michelangelo left Florence for Rome, where he was to spend the remainder of his life. He returned to the Sistine Chapel where he created the Last Judgment, another fresco, on the end wall. He designed the dome for St. Peter's and the Capitoline Square. He also worked on the Palazzo Farnese. His last paintings were the frescoes of the Conversion of St. Paul and the Crucifixion of St. Peter in the Pauline Chapel in the Vatican. Michelangelo died on February 18, 1564.
This is a beautiful reproduction of a sketch by Michelangelo. The genius and complete mastery over the human figure and drapery is exhibited very clearly in this print. This print is an incredible insight into the master painter?s technique and methodology. This excellent print is superbly matted in a marbleized pewter colored and black double mat and is extravagantly framed in an antique style frame. Both the frame and mat are beautiful and add much depth and personality to the print. The entire piece measures 25? x 22?.
