MICHELANGELO Buonarroti: St Matthew

🖼 St Matthew, 1503
Marble, height 271 cm
Florence, Italy

Marble emerges from raw stone as Saint Matthew twists dramatically, one leg still bound to the block. Michelangelo's unfinished sculpture revolutionized Renaissance art, demonstrating how divine figures transcend material limitations through incomplete, expressive form.
