MICHELANGELO Buonarroti: Ignudo

🖼 Ignudo, 1511
Fresco
Vatican, Italy

Muscular male nudes in terracotta and ochre frame the Sistine ceiling's narratives, rendered with anatomical precision and dynamic contrapposto. These ignudi showcase Michelangelo's mastery of human form and Renaissance ideals of beauty, influencing centuries of figure painting.
