Abstract

The British Museum in London is currently hosting an exhibition titled "Michelangelo: The Last Decades," which focuses on the final years of the Italian Renaissance artist Michelangelo. The exhibition showcases drawings, poetry, architectural renderings, and other works on paper from the museum's extensive collection. Through a close examination of Michelangelo's writings and relationships, the exhibition offers a nuanced and intimate view of the artist. It also challenges the commonly held perception of Michelangelo as a solitary and impoverished figure, revealing his complex personality and struggles. The exhibition includes preparatory drawings for Michelangelo's famous fresco, "The Last Judgment," as well as the recently conserved monumental black-chalk drawing, "Epifania."
