Paper Summary:
A paper which introduces and discusses how Michelangelo takes the humanistic and natural beauty from the Greeks concerning perfect physical humans and nudity and transforms his work for the Christian era. A brief overview of Michelangelo's childhood is also included.From the Paper:
"Consistently, his work began to show more and more influences from more ancient works. While he was often ridiculed because he was not following current trends, he persisted in his own views. He memorized certain classic poses, and used them for most of his works. The David is an example of one of his works that uses a classic pose to make it seem more strong and powerful. He no longer considered the work of art as an imitation of visible reality, nor as the image of a dream world, nor as a means of arriving at knowledge of the universe, but as an embodiment of the very essence of human life and destiny. In this vision of the cosmic law of life in man, he relates himself to the wisdom of ancient Italy (De Tolnay 64)."More papers on Michelangelo:
