MICHELANGELO Buonarroti: Risen Christ

🖼 Risen Christ, 1521
Marble, height 205 cm
Rome, Italy

Musculature ripples across Christ's torso as he stands triumphant, rendered in marble with classical contrapposto balance. Michelangelo's idealized nude body revolutionized religious sculpture, merging Renaissance humanism with Christian iconography in this monumental statement of divine perfection.
