Fine Art Friday

The wall calendar in the kitchen this year features some of Michelangelo's works. February's calendar art is today's Fine Art Friday selection.

I have to admit that I had not noticed the picture for 28 days (I have been a little busy) and thought this would make a nice selection for this week.

In the nice large print I have on the wall, I can see details that are not noticeable here.

I like the tilt of this girl's head and the slope (that is hard to see here) of her underchin and the detailed curves in her ear. I like how the weight of her earring is captured and the whisp of hair falling beside her face.

Thank you for posting this. It is classic, beautiful -- everything fine that we expect from Michelangelo.
