Michelangelo

Michelangelonak nem csak egy művészeti ághoz volt különös tehetsége, hanem mind a háromhoz, a festészethez, a szobrászathoz és az építészethez. Michelangelo egész életművén keresztül figyelemmel kísérhetjük, milyen zseniálisan formázta meg az emberi alakokat, különösen a meztelen férfiakat. A reneszánsz életfilozófiának megfelelően az ember minden dolog mértéke, a világegyetem középpontja.
