MICHELANGELO Buonarroti: Dawn

🖼 Dawn, 1524-31
Marble, length: 203 cm
Florence, Italy

Soft curves of marble capture a female figure emerging from sleep, her languid body twisted in classical contrapposto. Michelangelo's allegorical representation of morning exemplifies Renaissance humanism, blending mythological grace with profound psychological introspection about time's passage.
