MICHELANGELO Buonarroti: Medallion

🖼 Medallion, 1511
Fresco, diameter c. 135 cm
Vatican, Italy

Rendered in marble relief, two intertwined putti float within a circular frame, their bodies gracefully interlocked in Renaissance harmony. This medallion exemplifies Michelangelo's mastery of sculptural form and became an iconic motif influencing decorative arts across centuries.
