Are these bronze sculptures Michelangelo’s?
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleScholars in Britain say new evidence has emerged that two nude male bronzes attributed to other sculptors may be the work of Michelangelo.
Experts from the Fitzwilliam Museum and the University of Cambridge say the evidence suggests the figures riding panthers were made after Michelangelo completed the marble David and as he was about to embark on the Sistine Chapel ceiling.
The museum says in a statement Monday that if the attribution is correct, the sculptures would be the only surviving Michelangelo bronzes in the world.
They certainly look Michelangelesque.
