After Michelangelo Drawings of the human body

The human body, centuries after Michelangelo
What remains of Michelangelo's legacy today? After elevating the human body into a symbol of power, beauty, and spiritual tension, his vision still echoes through contemporary art. The selection “After Michelangelo” brings together drawings that explore the human figure with fresh eyes, yet always in conversation with the great master’s influence.
Michelangelo didn’t just portray bodies—he revealed their inner energy. Muscles, tendons, and veins weren’t just anatomical references, but carriers of drama, grace, and motion. His understanding of the body came from deep, almost scientific study, and each of his figures seems to pulse with life.
The artists featured here continue that search for truth through the body.
Their lines are raw, expressive, sometimes abstract—but always human.
Their works speak of identity, fragility, tension, and presence.
This is a tribute to the timeless subject of the body and to Michelangelo’s enduring influence, reimagined through the pencil, ink, and charcoal of today’s creators.
