EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable wall drawing from the Renaissance period. Created around 1530, this charcoal on plaster artwork is attributed to the legendary artist Michelangelo Buonarroti. The image features two figures, their forms expertly sketched with delicate lines and shadowing. The location of this extraordinary piece adds an intriguing historical context. Discovered in 1975 within a hidden room behind the Cappella Medicee in San Lorenzo, Florence, it is believed that Michelangelo 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 not only the artistry but also hints at its secretive past. The crypt-like alcove where this masterpiece was found exudes an air of mystery and intrigue. It serves as a testament to both Michelangelo's genius and his ability to adapt during tumultuous times. David Lee's Photography Archive has masterfully preserved this significant piece for all art enthusiasts to appreciate today. This stunning print allows viewers to immerse themselves in one of Michelangelo's lesser-known works, offering a glimpse into his creative process through this study sketch. With its rich history and undeniable artistic brilliance, this wall drawing transports us back in time to experience firsthand one aspect of Michelangelo's enduring legacy within Italian Renaissance art.
