Michelangelo Buonarroti

Trained in Florentine disegno, steeped in Neoplatonic mysticism, he forged a visual theology where male beauty equaled divine order. But in sketchbooks and sonnets, the veil thinned. His verses to Tommaso de’ Cavalieri ache with restrained intensity; his chalk drawings—flayed backs, twisted hips, longing hands—are archives of queer veneration masquerading as classical study.

His male nudes—David, Dying Slave, Rebellious Captive—reveal a fixated gaze. Michelangelo didn’t just sculpt men. He monumentalized desire into marble syntax: contrapposto, ideal proportion, heroic nudity, sacred homoeroticism, High Renaissance male form.

He hid nothing. He confessed in muscle what he couldn’t in speech. And five centuries on, the bodies still pulse. Wet plaster, dry scripture, queer monument.
