MICHELANGELO Buonarroti: Crouching Boy

🖼 Crouching Boy, 1530-33
Marble, height 54 cm
St. Petersburg, Russia

A marble youth hunches inward, muscles tensed in contrapposto, carved with anatomical precision that captures psychological introspection. This small sculpture exemplifies Renaissance mastery of human form and emotion, influencing centuries of figurative art.
