Summary
[edit]DescriptionBrutus fibula compared with antique coin.png |
English: De Tolnay writes: "No drawings for the Brutus have been preserved to us, but there is a sculptured preliminary study on the bust itself: on the fibula holding the drapery, hitherto quite unnoticed, is a fine relief [Plate I, B], obviously wrought by Michelangelo himself, which could only have been made for the artist's own use as it is not visible to the spectator. It must have been made before the head of the bust was begun as a preliminary study, and represents a head in profile with naked neck and base, reproducing exactly the pose of the heads of Brutus on antique coins [Plate I, C]. Vasari's statement, therefore, that Michaelangelo drew his inspiration from antique gems is, at all events in part—proved to be correct—not for the bust itself but for the preliminary study." |
