"Figures from 'The Deluge' of Michelangelo" is a drawing created by Alphonse Legros in the late 19th century. It depicts a study of two figures from Michelangelo's famous Sistine Chapel ceiling, specifically "The Deluge," suggesting Legros' admiration for the Renaissance master. The delicate, linear style of the drawing, created with a light touch, captures the dynamism and emotional weight of the original scene. This small work serves as a testament to the enduring impact of Michelangelo's artistry, as interpreted through the lens of Legros' own artistic sensibilities.
