Michelangelo: Anatomy as Architecture (Williamsburg, 2/6/10-4/11/10)

Michelangelo: Anatomy as Architecture
Muscarelle Museum of Art, Williamsburg - from February 6, 2010 to April 11, 2010

"Michelangelo: Anatomy as Architecture consists of drawings, archival pages, and engravings on loan from the finest collection of Michelangelo drawings and the ancestral home, the Casa Buonarroti in Florence, Italy. Combined with Old Master drawings from the collection of the Museum, the exhibition depicts and illustrates Michelangelo’s concept and philosophy that architecture was anatomical in a way that has never been done before. The exhibition explores new research in Michelangelo architectural studies, includes digital reconstructions of buildings never before believed to be influenced by Michelangelo, and lectures by world-renowned scholars on Michelangelo.
