Description
This head is a cast from a marble bust by Battista Lorenzi, created to adorn Michelangelo's grave in Santa Croce, Florence. Lorenzi's portrait is a rework after a bronze bust by Daniele da Volterra where minor features (position of the eyes, head and clothing) were modified.

Object Parts
I always wondered how sculpts would look like if painted. This started when I was told that the sculpts in the metope of Parthenon where painted and what remains today is the decoloured marble after many ages.
Some times I just try to paint, but in other cases, something provocative comes into my mind and I follow a more creative path. In any case, enjoy!
