Michelangelo Buonarroti, known simply as Michelangelo, is one of the most influential artists in the history of sculpture and art in general, and one of the great geniuses of the Renaissance. Born in 1475 in Caprese, Italy, Michelangelo was a milestone in Italian art, and his great masterpieces, in sculpture and also in painting, demonstrate his ability to reproduce the human anatomy with unparalleled detail. His brilliant treatment of stone can be admired in iconic sculptures like this one, where he represents the young David with extraordinary strength and realism.

Michelangelo’s influence endures to this day, inspiring generations of artists who sought to emulate his artistic genius and his ability to express the human essence, extracting beauty from stone.
