MICHELANGELO Buonarroti: Dusk

🖼 Dusk, 1524-31
Marble, length: 195 cm

Soft shadows model a reclining male figure, his musculature rendered with anatomical precision in marble. This allegorical "Time of Day" sculpture exemplifies Renaissance humanist ideals, influencing centuries of figurative art through its mastery of form and contemplative pose.
