MICHELANGELO Buonarroti: The Risen Christ

🖼 The Risen Christ, 1532-34
Black chalk
325 × 190 cm

Muscular Christ emerges from shadow, body twisted in contrapposto, rendered with anatomical precision in marble. Michelangelo's mastery of human form defines Renaissance ideals, transforming religious subject matter into celebration of classical beauty and divine power.
