Les hommes de Michel-Ange sont mondialement célèbres. Tout le monde connaît le David, ou le plafond de la chapelle Sixtine et son Adam. Ses nus puissants, précis et musculeux, ses dessins anatomiques et ses belles figures androgynes ont marqué l'histoire de l'art. Cet ouvrage, qui accompagne une exposition unique avec une quarantaine d'œuvres de Michel-Ange au Musée Teylers à Haarlem du 15 octobre 2025 jusqu'au 25 janvier 2026, ouvre la voie aux grandes questions des historiens de l'art de tous horizons. Quelle a été l'influence des images classiques et d'où vient son intérêt pour l'idéal néoplatonicien de la perfection et de la beauté ? A-t-il disséqué des corps lui-même ? Quel rôle les modèles ont-ils joué ? Et que signifiait le corps masculin pour lui personnellement, dans son adoration du corps du Christ et dans ses amitiés intimes avec les hommes ? Jamais auparavant cet aspect important de l'art de Michel-Ange n'a été aussi central.

The male body through Michelangelo's eyes: art, devotion and desire in a stunning masterpiece
Michelangelo’s men are world famous. Everyone knows his David and his The Creation of Adam at the centre of the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. His powerful, muscular nudes, precise anatomical drawings and magnificent, androgynous figures left a profound mark on art history.
In this book, leading international art historians look at Michelangelo’s men with fresh eyes and from every angle. How was he influenced by classical sculpture and what drew him to the Neoplatonic ideal of perfection and beauty? Did he dissect cadavers himself? What role did models play? And what did the male physique mean to him personally – both in his veneration of Christ’s body and in his intimate friendships with other, frequently young men? This key aspect of his art has never before been placed centre stage.
Michelangelo’s exceptional works are reproduced here in all their glory and with numerous details, making this book a visual must-have for every art lover.
With contributions from, amongst others, Martin Gayford, Paul Joannides, Michael Rocke, and Jennifer Sliwka.
Publication accompanying the once-in-a-lifetime exhibition featuring more than forty works by Michelangelo at Teylers Museum in Haarlem, The Netherlands, from 15 October 2025 to 25 January 2026.

Renowned art historians address the topic from different angles: from the influence of anatomical studies and Classical Antiquity on his work, his adoration of the body of Christ, his adherence to Neoplatonic ideas of perfection and beauty, to his personal preference for the young male body and the exceptional artworks this resulted in.
