Description:
|
|
The Centaurs are best known for their fight with the Lapiths, known as the Centauromachy. This was the last work Michelangelo created (for his own studies) while under the patronage of Lorenzo de' Medici, who died shortly after its completion. Inspired by a classical relief created by Bertoldo di Giovanni, the theme was also suggested to Michelangelo by the classical scholar and poet Poliziano. Michelangelo regarded this sculpture as the best of his early works and kept it for the rest of his life. (Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia. org/wiki/Main_Page)
