EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable wall drawing of two heads, created around 1530 by the legendary artist Michelangelo Buonarroti. The artwork, executed in charcoal on plaster, is believed to be located in San Lorenzo, Florence, Italy. Discovered in 1975 within a hidden chamber behind Cappella Medicee, this intriguing piece sheds light on an enigmatic chapter of Michelangelo's life. It is speculated that the artist sought refuge here under the protection of the prior of San Lorenzo after the return of the powerful Medici family to Florence. The photograph beautifully captures the intricate details and textures present in this Renaissance masterpiece. The faces depicted exude a sense of depth and emotion as they emerge from their crypt-like alcove within the chapel walls. With meticulous precision, Michelangelo's skilled hand brings these figures to life through his masterful use of chiaroscuro. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand one small fragment of Michelangelo's genius. This extraordinary discovery not only adds another layer to our understanding of his artistic journey but also serves as a testament to his resourcefulness during challenging times. David Lee's photography archive has skillfully preserved this iconic artwork for future generations to appreciate and admire. Through this stunning visual representation, we are reminded once again why Michelangelo remains one of history's most revered artists.
