MICHELANGELO Buonarroti: Medallion

🖼 Medallion, 1511
Fresco, diameter c. 135 cm
Vatican, Italy

Rendered in bronze relief, a classical profile emerges with precise anatomical detail and idealized proportions. This medallion exemplifies Michelangelo's mastery of sculptural form and Renaissance humanism, bridging ancient Roman coinage traditions with contemporary portraiture during his most prolific period.
