1475 -1564 · Sculpture, fresco and architecture of the High Renaissance
Michelangelo thinks of the body as architecture under tension: marble, drawing and fresco reveal an inner energy that goes beyond the human scale.
Born in 1475 in Caprese, Michelangelo Buonarroti grew up in Florence and trained briefly with Domenico Ghirlandaio before studying sculpture in the Medici garden. He first defined himself as a sculptor. Saint-Pierre's Pietà then David imposed his mastery of marble and monumental anatomy very early on. Called to Rome by Julius II, he worked at the Pope's tomb and received the order for the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in 1508.

Michelangelo also carries out architectural projects in Florence and Rome, notably the Laurentian library, Place du Capitole and Saint-Pierre. His drawings, poems and unfinished works show a creation experienced as a struggle with matter until his death in 1564. The "Michelangelo" selection offers its own journey on this subject. His reading favors details.
In Michelangelo, the body does not illustrate the idea: it carries all the weight of it, as if thought were to contract in muscle and stone.
