MICHELANGELO Buonarroti: Study for Adam

🖼 Study for Adam, c. 1510
Red chalk
193 × 259 cm

Muscular male form sketched in red chalk, anatomically precise yet dynamically posed with subtle torsion. Preparatory study for the Sistine Chapel ceiling's Adam, revealing Michelangelo's mastery of human anatomy and his revolutionary approach to classical idealization.
