The Art of Michelangelo

The artistic legacy of Michelangelo can be divided in three main areas of interest: Sculptures, Michelangelo’s true passion; paintings of inestimably value, though sometimes only executed reluctant; and a set of detailed drawings, which used to be studies for his main works.

See below for an overview according to the three main categories.
