Michelangelo Buonarroti was an Italian Renaissance master, renowned as a sculptor, painter, architect, and poet. While he is best remembered for monumental works such as the Sistine Chapel ceiling and the statue of David, his drawings reveal a more intimate side of his genius. Serving both as preparatory studies and independent works of art, Michelangelo’s drawings showcase his extraordinary understanding of anatomy, movement, and expression. Through quick sketches and highly finished studies, he explored human form, spatial dynamics, and emotional intensity with unmatched precision. These works not only demonstrate his technical mastery but also provide rare insight into his creative process, allowing us to witness the mind of one of history’s greatest artists at work.
