Michelangelo’s masterpiece The Dream is one of the greatest of all Renaissance
Drawings. This complex work shows a naked youth being roused by a winged spirit from the vices that surround him.The Dream was almost certainly part of the great group of drawings which Michelangelo made as gifts for Tommaso de' Cavalieri, a young Roman nobleman with whom he had fallen passionately in love. With loans from worldwide collections, the exhibition unites The Dream for the first time with these amazing drawings.
Michael Angelo’s drawings and paintings where an insight into the mentality of how the artists worked and thought.
An energetic, dynamic, flying God points his finger at Adam, who is struck with life. There is no visible spark, but Michelangelo did not need one to create this very strong image. Adam is shown as a powerful youth, who in the centre of the composition receives the breath of life.
The dream was made roughly 1553 for Tommaso de’ Cavalieri the love of Michael Angelo’s life. Michael Angelo expressed his love by Poems, Openly Letters and five of the perfect drawings he had ever created known today as the presentation drawings.
