Art prints and posters will often be the first experience that people have of art, and as they start to learn more about different artists and movements, they will have a greater selection to choose from for their own homes. There is currently a great interest in products from modern artists but there will always remain interest in Renaissance masters like Michelangelo. Their influence on all that followed cannot be forgotten and many young budding students flock to see their work in order to learn from the techniques used many centuries ago. It is important to remember that any prints bought via this website will earn us a small commission, be it from Art.com, Amazon or from any other retailers that we link to from Michelangelo.net.
Creation of Adam
The Creation of Adam fresco is one of the most reproduced works from this artist's career, and it remains an instantly recognisable symbol of the Renaissance era. You will find a selection of Creation of Adam prints in the Art.com store linked to from here, and this image seems to have crept into the consciousness of millions of people around the world, even some who know very little about art in general. There are various different prints available of The Creation of Adam, reflecting it's popularity.
Some will contain more of the rest of the fresco series which surrounds this artwork, whilst others will offer greater detail in closeup. Our Michelangelo Buonarroti prints gallery continues to offer different versions of this classic fresco. Those familiar with this artwork should take the time to check out some of the other frescos which together formed the Sistine Chapel's ceiling after considerable amounts of work from Michelangelo and his hired help.
David
How better to enjoy this famous sculpture in your own home than to order a stunning photographic print of it? Many agree and buy photographs of the impressive David sculpture for their own homes. Pieta is the only other sculpture to provide even the slightest challenge to David as the key sculpture of his career and these two also are commonly chosen as study pieces in many art history courses. This piece was sculptured from a huge piece of Marble, and this was to be Michelangelo's preferred material for sculpture. Other prints of the David sculpture are available from our approved store.
Sistine Chapel Ceiling
The ceiling of the Sistine Chapel was covered in a detailed series of frescos designed to fit together to create an uplifting finish. Michelangelo was given this daunting commission which some other artists would have been too intimidated to take on.
Architecture Drawing
Simple sketches in pencil, charcoal or ink have in recent years proved popular with art fans who may go for drawing prints themselves. Often this is the best medium for displaying the technical skills behind much of an artist's career and in the case of Michelangelo indicate his skills with capturing the human body.
Poems
Poetry may not seem an obvious choice for art prints, but there is something charming and impressive about handwritten passages from writers of the past, before the days when everything was completed by pens or computers. Literature might sound a strange choice for art prints, but certain traditional writing styles, such as caligraphy, have started to become seen as historic art in their own right. Michelangelo poetry prints can be found for those who also see hand writing as a type of art. Chinese art often features their older characters in a manner of different ways, so Latin-based scripture could also be treated by some as artwork. The content of Michelangelo love poems may also make happy reading for those who choose to add prints of extracts from them on their own walls.
Moses
Full-length sculpture, Moses, remains a significant element of Michelangelo's career and art prints of it are commonly sought after by fans of his work. Moses prints tend to be photographs of closeups of the sculpture, often focusing on the face and upper body rather than capturing the whole piece. Carefully planned photographs may show off the smooth texture of this sculpture, by capturing light coming across the piece. Michelangelo also put particular attention into the facial features of this artwork, which can be displayed in close-up photographs. The picture which we have included here is just one of a number of photographs available as framed or unframed prints from the Art store featured across our website.
Pieta
Pieta art prints are also commonly requested, with this sculpture being seen as second only to David in the career of Michelangelo. This classic Renaissance style will always suit framed reproductions best. Pieta prints also grace many an art fan's home. This sculpture combined elements of Italian and French style of the High Renaissance era and sets this piece aside from the rest of the sculpture work produced by artist Michelangelo.
The artist captures a relatively young looking Mary in this piece which will appeal to some, with her appearance being flattering and suitable for those who want to celebrate her own life with in a famous art work. Many see Pieta as of equivalent technical quality to that of David, and the two pieces sit at the top of Michelangelo's career, particularly with in the specific sphere of sculpture.
