Michelangelo’s Dream
Drawings the like of which have never been seen…’ Giorgio Vasari, 1568. Michelangelo’s masterpiece The Dream (Il Sogno) has been described as one of the finest of all Renaissance drawings, and it is amongst The Courtauld Gallery’s greatest treasures. Executed in c. 1533 when Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564) was at the height of his career, it exemplifies his unrivalled skill as a draughtsman and his extraordinary powers of invention. Michelangelo’s Dream examines this celebrated work in the context of an exceptional group of closely related drawings by Michelangelo, as well as original letters and poems by the artist and works by his contemporaries.
