MICHELANGELO Buonarroti: Dusk

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

Soft marble curves emerge from shadow, a reclining male figure rendered with anatomical precision and melancholic repose. Michelangelo's allegorical personification of Dusk anchors the Medici Chapel's meditation on time and mortality, exemplifying Renaissance mastery of human form.
