MICHELANGELO Buonarroti: Ignudo

🖼 Ignudo, 1509
Fresco
Vatican, Italy

Muscular male nudes in contrapposto pose dominate the Sistine Chapel ceiling, rendered with anatomical precision and classical idealism. These ignudi frame biblical scenes, showcasing Michelangelo's mastery of human form and establishing Renaissance standards for depicting the male body.
