Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564), one of the great geniuses of the Renaissance and one of the most influential artists in the history of sculpture and universal art. Born in 1475 in Caprese, Italy, Michelangelo left a lasting legacy through his great masterpieces, in sculpture and also in painting. His masterful ability to reproduce the human anatomy with unparalleled detail is evident in sculptures like the one we present, where he portrays the young David with extraordinary elegance and realism. Among his other iconic creations are Moses, the Pietà, located in St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican, as well as his murals in the Sistine Chapel, where he painted the ceiling with impressive biblical scenes, highlighting the creation of Adam.

Michelangelo marked a milestone in Renaissance art, and his influence endures in generations of later artists who sought to emulate his artistic genius as well as his ability to express the human essence through stone and paint.
