Why are Michelangelo's paintings called sculpturesque?
One historian said Michelangelo's painted nudes look like sacks of potatoes. This referred to the bulky musculature of his sculpted forms, a result of 3D form transposed into 2D space. Michelangelo was the "rugged artist." He quarried his own slabs of marble from the rocky craggs of the Carrera mountainside (his hometown). He was temperamental, brooding, and violent, especially at work. One sees this tension in his forms, which are also described as "serpentine." This was a reflection of the late Renaissance mannerist style. See Libyan Sybil, Sistine Chapel. Leonardo and Michelangelo participated in a discourse known as 'paragone' or "battle" of superior artistic medium - sculpture or painting. Michel called Leonardo's paintings antiseptic and rendered with soft, dainty hands. Where is the passion, the callouses, the blood and sweat and tears? While painting could represent divine beauty, sculpture, in essence, was it's realization.
