MICHELANGELO Buonarroti: Brutus

🖼 Brutus, 1546-50
Marble, height 74 cm (without base)
Florence, Italy

Carved marble captures a man's fierce intensity, his jaw clenched and gaze averted in troubled contemplation. Michelangelo's unfinished bust embodies Republican ideals of virtue against tyranny, becoming a symbol of moral resistance during Renaissance Florence's political turbulence.
