MICHELANGELO Buonarroti: Study for a Risen Christ (verso)

🖼 Study for a Risen Christ (verso), 1532
Black chalk
190 × 330 cm

Rendered in red chalk, a muscular torso twists dynamically, capturing Christ's ascending movement through bold, confident strokes. This preparatory study reveals Michelangelo's anatomical mastery and spiritual intensity, essential to his revolutionary approach to religious imagery during the High Renaissance.
