MICHELANGELO Buonarroti: Day

🖼 Day, 1526-33
Marble, length: 185 cm
Florence, Italy

Muscular torso twists in contrapposto, one arm flung back across marble in classical dynamism. Michelangelo's allegorical figure epitomizes Renaissance humanism, merging antique sculpture with spiritual awakening on the Medici Chapel tomb.
