Ignudo Number Eight of 1511
This is one of the works of the Frescoes in the Sistine Chapel. Michelangelo Buonarroti, who died in Rome in 1564 at the age of 89 years, was commissioned by Pope Julius II della Rovere in 1508 to repaint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel which had been frescoed earlier by Piero Matteo d’Amelia with a star-spangled sky. The masterwork was completed between 1508 and 1512.
