MICHELANGELO Buonarroti: St Proculus

🖼 St Proculus, 1494
Marble, height 59 cm with base
Bologna, Italy

Marble carved with anatomical precision reveals Saint Proculus in contrapposto stance, his musculature rendered with Renaissance mastery. This early work demonstrates Michelangelo's revolutionary understanding of human form, establishing him as Florence's preeminent sculptor before the David.
