MICHELANGELO Buonarroti: Ignudo

🖼 Ignudo, 1511
Fresco
Vatican, Italy

Muscular male nudes frame the Sistine Chapel ceiling in bold foreshortening, their twisting bodies rendered with anatomical precision. These ignudi showcase Michelangelo's mastery of human form and demonstrate the Renaissance obsession with classical beauty and divine creation.
