Michelangelo Buonarroti: Wall object 'The Creation of Adam', version in bronze
€3,280.00
When Michelangelo created the vaulted frescoes in the Sistine Chapel in Rome between 1508 and 1512, he was already playing a decisive role in the artistic and intellectual life of Italy. The ceiling fresco depicts the story of creation in nine scenes. Two hands form its centre: the one on the viewer's left belongs to the reclining Adam, the one on the right to God the Father descending from a cloud. The indirect touch of their two index fingers made the fresco famous: the gesture symbolises the miracle of creation with incredible lightness and elegance. Michelangelo is not actually depicting the creation of man, but rather his animation, symbolising the transcendence of the divine spark. The wall object lifts the centrepiece of the spectacular work into the third dimension. The object heightens the sculptural effect and concentrates entirely on the content: the longing for the divine and its fulfilment in gifted art. Original: Sistine Chapel, Rome. Edition in bronze. Cast by hand using the lost wax technique. Size 58 x 25 x 15 cm. Weight 9 kg.
