18203-Michelangelo's Gal

18203 - Michelangelo's Gal - by Lindsay Daniel  

His Mistress????  Michelangelo was said to be a virgin, but many say this was his woman.  Her carved sculpture sits to the left upon his tomb with 2 other muses - representing Sculpture, Painting, and Architecture (all which he mastered). 

Italy - 2018 - my painting workshop in Tuscany (ilchiostro.com) ....with our fabulous instructor, Emily Andress (www.awakengallery.com), chose this sculpture as our model for the class assignment - - "bring her TO LIFE in your own expression" in portrait form.  **When in Florence, you visit his beautiful tomb in the Basilica of Santa Croce.

(Music to view:  "Senza Una Donna" by Zucchero - translated as "Without a Woman")
