Zittend naakt uit Sixtijnse kapel 1551

This is a 1551 etching by Dutch artist Dirck Volckertsz Coornhert depicting a seated nude from Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling. The composition, framed by a simple rectangular border, showcases the figure's muscular form with meticulous detail. Coornhert's engraving captures the dynamism and anatomical precision of Michelangelo's original, emphasizing the power and beauty of the human body. This print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Coornhert's skill as a printmaker and his appreciation for Michelangelo's artistry.
