Beardless Slave by Michelangelo
Michelangelo created Beardless Slave between 1520 and 1530.
 Beardless Slave is an unfinished marble statue, 8 feet 6-3/4 inches tall, standing in the Galleria dell'Accademia in Florence. |
While the unifying focus for each of Michelangelo's four slave figures lies in their thickly powerful torsos, Michelangelo gave each a distinct identity. Notice the contorted pose of the Crossed-leg Slave as opposed to the softer, more dreamlike stance of the Beardless Slave.
