The 'Ignudo' is an exquisite piece of work by Michelangelo, a prominent figure of the High Renaissance period. A true embodiment of his supreme mastery in art, 'Ignudo' is a fresco depicting a male nude figure, which further demonstrates Michelangelo's talent in Nude painting (nu). Echoing an emphasis on anatomy and humanism characteristic of High Renaissance art, the 'Ignudo' displays a meticulous attention to the physique and musculature of the human figure.
