A publication devoted to the great Renaissance master Michelangelo and his far-reaching influence on art’s subsequent history.
The art created by Michelangelo is fascinating particularly for his heroic figures, whose physiques stand out for their exceptional strength and monumentality. They seem energetic and possessed of intense emotions that lend vigor to their acts.
Even so, his deeply soulful figures also lend expression to tensions, inner torment, and conflicts. Especially in his nudes, Michelangelo originated a new figurative ideal that not only influenced the artists of his own day but also had lasting effects on subsequent generations. The present exhibition sets out to render this influence visible in light of selected examples.
Nude drawings by Michelangelo are juxtaposed with corresponding works on paper by artists from his circle and from among his successors such as Daniele da Volterra, Rosso Fiorentino, Baccio Bandinelli, Francesco Salviati, and Domenico Beccafumi in order to make clear the sustained influence of the Michelangelesque ideal. The female body also plays a role, even though Michelangelo quite possibly never drew a naked woman, instead lending the male body a feminine appearance.
