Michelangelo, born in 1571 and passing away in 1610, was a renowned artist who left an indelible mark on the world of art. His works spanned various themes and subjects, showcasing his exceptional talent and mastery. One of his notable pieces is "Medusa, " created between 1596-1598. This artwork by Caravaggio captures the terrifying visage of Medusa with her writhing snakes for hair, frozen in stone for eternity. In "Narcissus" (1598-1599), Michelangelo delves into Greek mythology to depict Narcissus gazing at his own reflection in a pool of water. The painting beautifully portrays the tragic tale of self-absorption and vanity. "The Incredulity of Saint Thomas" (1600-1601) showcases Michelangelo's ability to capture intense emotion. It depicts the moment when doubting Thomas touches Christ's wounds to confirm his resurrection, conveying both doubt and awe simultaneously. Another significant work is "The Crucifixion of Saint Peter" (1601). This powerful piece portrays the martyrdom of Saint Peter upside down, emphasizing his unwavering faith even until death. Michelangelo also explored religious figures such as "Saint Jerome" (ca 1606) depicted deep in contemplation within his cell. The artist skillfully brings out Jerome's introspective nature through intricate details and subtle expressions. In "David with the Head of Goliath, " Michelangelo presents a dramatic scene from biblical history where David triumphs over Goliath. The juxtaposition between David's youthful innocence and Goliath's severed head creates a striking contrast. "The Madonna dei Pellegrini (Pilgrims Madonna)" (1604-1606) showcases Michelangelo's ability to portray tenderness and compassion through Mary embracing pilgrims seeking solace or healing.
