MICHELANGELO Buonarroti: Daniel

🖼 Daniel, 1511
Fresco
395 × 380 cm
Vatican, Italy

Muscular tension animates this youth's idealized form, rendered in fresco with classical contrapposto pose and penetrating gaze. Michelangelo's Daniel exemplifies Renaissance humanism, merging biblical prophecy with anatomical mastery on the Sistine Chapel ceiling.
