Serving as the focal point of the gallery, this statue was crafted by Michelangelo with the objective of achieving the ultimate representation of a man. At a mere 26 years of age when he was commissioned to create this statue, Michelangelo was already one of the most renowned and highest-paid artists in the nation. Another remarkable work by the master that is bound to capture your attention is Michelangelo's Slaves, also known as I Prigioni. These statues are celebrated as unfinished exemplars of Michelangelo's craftsmanship. The intricacy and expertise required to carve sculptures from marble are readily apparent and offer valuable insights into his sculpting technique.
