This 16th-century engraving by Lambert Suavius depicts the Italian High Renaissance artist Michelangelo in profile. The inscription on the circular frame reads "Michelangelus Bonarotivs Nobilis Florentinvs Anno Eitatis Sve LXXV MD.LXXVI" meaning "Michelangelo Buonarroti, Noble Florentine, in the year of his age 75, 1576." This portrait is a classic example of Renaissance printmaking and is a significant piece of art historical documentation.
