Michelangelo Buonarroti

While the acclaim for Michelangelo often centers on monumental works like David and the Sistine Chapel, his true brilliance emerges in the subtle interludes. Beyond sculpting heroes and gods, he masterfully chiseled the human soul, capturing its delicate balance between fragility and strength with equal prowess. Michelangelo’s genius lay not only in the grandeur but also in the silent moments, where the soul speaks louder than the stone.

Rodin’s artistry lies not only in the physical forms but in the emotional resonance that echoes through the contours of his sculptures.
