12-year-old Michelangelo 🤝 A disturbing painting for anyone to create, let alone a child
Happy birthday to Italian artist Michelangelo Buonarroti, born on this day 550 years ago!
Although Michelangelo considered himself first and foremost a sculptor, he received his early training as a painter.
This is his first known painting, which is a copy of the black-and-white engraving “Saint Anthony Tormented by Demons” by the 15th-century German master Martin Schongauer.
Head to the south gallery of the Kahn Building to be equally impressed and horrified by this masterpiece.
