MICHELANGELO Buonarroti: Risen Christ

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

Musculature ripples across Christ's torso as he stands triumphant, marble rendered with anatomical precision. Renaissance ideals of human perfection merge with spiritual transcendence in Michelangelo's only full-scale marble Christ, establishing the heroic Christ-type that dominated centuries of religious art.
