Short description
Bronze | Handmade | Format 58 x 25 x 15 cm | Weight 9 kg
When Michelangelo created the ceiling frescos of the Sistine Chapel in Rome between 1508 and 1512, he was taking an important part in the cultural and intellectual life of Italy. The nine scenes of the ceiling fresco show the history of the creation. In the center there are two hands: the left one belongs to the legendary Adam and the right one, coming from the cloud, belongs to Our Father. The indirect touch of the point fingers makes this fresco famous. This gesture symbolizes he miracle of creation with incomparable lightness and elegance. Michelangelo doesn’t show the material creation of the human, but rather the “ensouling” of the human flesh. Through the creation of this wall object, the central element of the famous fresco became three-dimensional. The statue expresses an idea of searching for the divine, which can be found in the blessing of art.
Original: Sistine Chapel, Rome.
Edition in bronze. Made by hand in lost-wax casting technique. Format 58 x 25 x 15 cm. Weight 9 kg.
