EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable wall drawing of a male figure, believed to be created by the renowned artist Michelangelo in 1530. The artwork, executed with charcoal on plaster, exudes an air of mystery and intrigue. Discovered in 1975 within a hidden room behind Cappella Medicee in San Lorenzo, Florence, this masterpiece is thought to have served as Michelangelo's sanctuary during the tumultuous period when the Medici family returned to power. Seeking protection under the prior of San Lorenzo, he found solace within these walls. The photograph beautifully captures every intricate detail of this ancient sketch. From the study of muscles to its cryptic nature, it offers us a glimpse into Michelangelo's creative process and his unparalleled talent for capturing human form. The setting itself adds another layer of fascination - an alcove nestled within a chapel that resonates with Renaissance grandeur. It serves as a testament to both the historical significance and artistic brilliance that define this era. Preserved through time and now part of David Lees Photography Archive, this image allows us to appreciate not only Michelangelo's genius but also the enduring legacy he left behind. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand one man's mastery over artistry and his ability to immortalize beauty on canvas.
