Description
Lithographic print of drawing by Michelangelo entitled Man Nude, with Proportions indicated, originally drawn c.1515-20
Acquired by George III, King of the United Kingdom (1738-1820), by c.1810.Two tones of red chalk. With only two exceptions, the drawings by Michelangelo in the Royal Library were first recorded in the collection of George III. This is one of Michelangelo's most majestic studies of a nude, possibly intended for teaching purposes having the proportions of various parts of the body indicated. Throughout his life the artist was drawn to the investigation of musculature and form, as reflected in this drawing. Of his few pupils, Sebastiano del Piombo (c.1485-1547) was probably the most adept and it was possibly drawn for Sebastiano as a teaching aid.
