MICHELANGELO Buonarroti: Dusk

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

Soft shadows model a reclining male figure in marble, his musculature rendered with anatomical precision. This allegorical sculpture epitomizes Renaissance humanism, blending classical contrapposto with Michelangelo's revolutionary approach to the human form in monumental art.
