🖼 Christ in Limbo, 1516
Red and black chalk

Muscular figures writhe in shadowed depths as Christ reaches downward, his body twisting with divine purpose. This drawing captures Michelangelo's obsession with human anatomy and theological drama, establishing the heroic救 narrative that defined Renaissance religious art.
