In the exhibition, we can enjoy the spectacular Michelangelo drawing that displays an incredible selection of one the world’s all-time best Renaissance artists. It draws together various pieces from several other museums, creating an entirely unique collection. It brings together pieces of Michelangelo’s work that have never been seen together before and that have been separated since the dispersion of Michelangelo’s studio during the mid 1500’s.  The exhibit displays pieces in chronological order and emphasizes connections between various pieces as well as the importance of various drawings.

Several of the drawings included show the meticulous forethought Michelangelo had in making many of his famous pieces, including paintings, sculptures, and architectures. It is made apparent how he spent hours perfecting every element of a project on paper before he began the actual work itself.

Along with the various drawings several paintings and sculptures, the exhibition usually display some things as loan from the National Gallery. Several letters written by Michelangelo himself are also on loan from the British Library, offering unique insight into Michelangelo’s persona, showing his complex and petulant character. Among all these drawings are several pieces that stand out more than others as far as their significance. These more notable pieces include; the Study for Adam from the Sistine Chapel, studies for the figure of Day from the Medici Tombs, Flying Angels from the Last Judgment and his final and slightly disturbing Crucifixions.

The exhibition of Michelangelo drawing at British Museum is exceedingly captivating and will provide memories to last a lifetime. This is certainly one of the most unique exhibitions you will ever have the opportunity to see and its ability to bring together various aspects of Michelangelo’s life is said to be unreal. For those who remotely interested in Renaissance art, London is one of the right places to be visited.
