MICHELANGELO Buonarroti: Sonnet with a Caricature

🖼 Sonnet with a Caricature, c. 1510
Pen and brown ink
283 × 200 cm
Florence, Italy

Spiky, exaggerated features distort a profile sketch beside handwritten Italian verse, blending caricature with Renaissance poetry. Michelangelo's rare hybrid reveals his wit and linguistic skill, documenting the master's private creative process beyond sculpture and painting.
