David
Michelangelo's most famous and popular work of art is the sculpture of David. The sculpture is approximately 5.17 meters (17.0 ft) tall. It is actually a male nude statue made of marble. This statue represents the biblical hero David. Michelangelo's statue of David was unlike any other. Where most artists and sculptors depict David triumphant after his battle with Goliath, Michelangelo depicts David in a worried and wary posture before going into battle. Michelangelo David started working on this statue when he was only 26 years old! And this work takes about 3 years to complete. Looking at this work by Michelangelo, it is hard to believe that he actually carved it out of stone.
David was originally placed in the Piazza della Signoria, but the statue is now in the Galleria dell'Accademia (Accademia Gallery) in Florence, right in the center under a small dome.
The Last Judgment
The Last Judgment is the second most famous work of Michelangelo. It is a fresco (an image painted with water-based powder paint on a freshly plastered wet wall or ceiling). It is said to be one of the most influential works of art by Michelangelo and the Western world. This fresco is also located in the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City. But instead of the ceiling there is an altar or a wall (altar). Also depicted here are 300 characters of Jesus Christ from the cosmology of the Old Testament. This fresco was painted by Michelangelo covering about 5,000 square feet of the Sistine Chapel.
This fresco depicts God's final reckoning. In which the resurrection of Jesus Christ is basically shown. He is standing right in the middle of the fresco. Around him are more prominent followers of Jesus. Below are also scenes of the resurrection of the dead and the sending of sinners to hell. However, the Council of Trent in 1564 condemned The Last Judgment fresco for its nudity, and the painter and sculptor Daniele de Volterra repainted some of the lewd scenes.
