MICHELANGELO Buonarroti: Medallion

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

Rendered in marble relief, a classical profile emerges with idealized features and delicate detail work. Created during the Sistine Chapel's decoration, this medallion exemplifies Michelangelo's mastery of sculptural form and Renaissance humanist aesthetics.
