MICHELANGELO Buonarroti: St Proculus

🖼 St Proculus, 1494
Marble, height 59 cm with base
Bologna, Italy

Marble captures a youthful saint in contrapposto stance, weight shifting elegantly across his frame with Renaissance idealism. Michelangelo's early Bologna commission demonstrates his mastery of classical form, establishing the sculptural language that would define High Renaissance art.
