Try to wrap your head around the fact that the same person is responsible for all of this.

The greatest works of art (and architecture) of the most accomplished artist in history - a thread 🧵 Image
1. The Torment of Saint Anthony (1488)

Michelangelo's talent was evident very early in life; he painted this at 12 or 13. It's a copy of an engraving by Schongauer, of demons assailing Saint Anthony. Michelangelo added his own twists, like giving some of the demons fish scales. Image
2. Pietà (1499)

Michelangelo was just 24 years old when he completed it, and it was received in Rome with sheer disbelief. The young genius was fairly unknown then, and many questioned if it was his own work - so he carved his name into the sash across Mary's chest. Image

The Ancient Greeks set the benchmark for Western art - a standard that was not caught up to again for centuries, if not millennia.

The greatest Ancient Greek masterpieces, a thread 🧵

1. Laocoön and His Sons, marble (c.27 BC - 68 AD) Image
~2,000 years old but clearly among the most impressive marble sculptures ever made. It was discovered in Rome during the Renaissance, leading many to believe it must've been a fake produced by Michelangelo himself.

It's evidently a Hellenistic sculpture, diverting away from the more static and idealized figures of the Classical era - injecting drama and dynamism into the human form. It depicts the Trojan priest Laocoön and his sons wrestling with sea serpents sent in punishment by the gods.
Image
2. The Antikythera Ephebe, bronze (c.340 - 330 BC)

A Classical era bronze sculpture, thought to be the mythological figure Paris presenting the Apple of Discord to Aphrodite. It's standing in a "contrapposto" pose, typical of Classical works. Its piercing eyes are made of glass. Image
