Risen Slave by Michelangelo Buonarotti

Risen Slave by Michelangelo Buonarotti

This sculpture depicts a strong, beautiful young man, seeking to break the bonds. A passionate protest against enslavement and an unbroken will to win are conveyed in strong body movements and proud facial expressions. A huge, superhuman muscle tension further reinforces the impression of persistent desire for freedom.
