Can you get fingerprints off of something that old?

What makes an artist great, is having the judgement to know what works are not up to the standard he wants to present, and not inflicting them on the public.

That’s one nice thing about Free Republic, and most other conservative sites. There’s lots of gentle humor.

But had this story been posted on a liberal website, half of the responses would be complaints: Michelangelo didn’t draw enough women!

They other responses would be ramblings about how Climate Change is destroying all the planet’s artwork.

Michelangelo would have a PC get out of jail free card when it comes to not drawing women.

I was ready to dismiss this as another art hoax......they're always finding long lost art works.

But studyng this, it does have the delicate, definitive strokes of Michaelangelo....a genius at drawing and sculpting the human body.

It's been written....he would visit morgues to study physique and musculature that he transferred to his art.......that authentically defines his works.

That is an earlier masterpiece. I like how Michelangelo uses black and white contrast, and the dynamics of his walking shows creativity.
