MICHELANGELO Buonarroti: Ignudo

🖼 Ignudo, 1509-10
Fresco
Vatican, Italy

Muscular male nudes frame the Sistine Chapel ceiling in contrapposto poses, rendered with anatomical precision through fresco technique. These ignudi demonstrate Michelangelo's mastery of the human form and influenced Renaissance ideals of beauty, strength, and divine creation for centuries.
