MICHELANGELO Buonarroti: Three Standing Men (recto)

🖼 Three Standing Men (recto), 1494-96
Pen and brown ink
292 × 200 cm
Vienna, Austria

Rendered in precise pen strokes, three male figures stand in classical contrapposto, their muscular bodies studied from different angles. These anatomical studies reveal Michelangelo's obsessive exploration of human form, foundational to Renaissance mastery and his monumental sculptural works.
