EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Michelangelo's "Study of the Upper Level of the Medici Tomb" from 1520/1. Created with black and red chalk on paper, this exquisite drawing is housed in the Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford, UK. The artwork serves as a design for the Tomb of Lorenzo de Medici, which was carved between 1524 and 1534 and can be found in the Medici Chapel at San Lorenzo in Florence. The intricate details captured by Michelangelo's skilled hand are truly remarkable. In this study, we see a figure seated within a niche, surrounded by architectural elements such as pediments and columns that reflect Renaissance aesthetics. The text inscriptions add an additional layer of significance to the composition. Michelangelo's mastery shines through in every stroke, showcasing his ability to seamlessly blend sculpture and drawing techniques. This piece exemplifies his profound understanding of form and space. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back to a time when artistry flourished under the patronage of powerful families like the Medicis. It serves as a testament to both Michelangelo's genius and his enduring impact on Western art.
