MICHELANGELO Buonarroti: The Fall

🖼 The Fall, 1509-10
Fresco
Vatican, Italy

Tangled bodies writhe across the vault in raw terracotta tones, their musculature rendered with anatomical precision. This Sistine Chapel fresco captures humanity's primal shame and expulsion, establishing Renaissance mastery of the human form and biblical narrative as supreme artistic achievement.
