Michelangelo is trending today!

Why Michelangelo is Trending:

Michelangelo is trending thanks to a flurry of Renaissance revelations captivating the art world. A newly discovered sketch of a foot by the master, deemed "extremely rare" by Christie's specialists, skyrocketed to a stunning $23 million (£16.9m) at auction on February 5, far exceeding its $2 million estimate and underscoring his enduring allure. Meanwhile, his monumental Sistine Chapel fresco "The Last Judgment"—depicting heaven and hell in vivid drama—has been shrouded for a meticulous three-month cleaning starting early February, sparking global buzz about preserving this iconic work. Adding to the hype, a fresh book review explores the unlikely encounters between Michelangelo and rival Titian in the 16th century, dubbing them the Renaissance's odd couple and reigniting fascination with their worlds.
