Michelangelo’s Unfinished Sculptures
February 2, 2025 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Michelangelo Buonarroti left over half of his marble sculptures—some 26 of his 44 works, ranging from his very first carving to his last—in various unfinished states (non-finito). Carolina Mangone of Princeton University will discuss the problem and appeal of the non-finito, focusing on a handful of Michelangelo’s sculptures and their relationship to the preparatory
arts of drawing and modeling.
