"It is truly flesh! You would think it moulded by kisses and caresses!You almost expect, when you touch this body, to find it warm."

                 ——Michelangelo

After having admired the universe, Man started to contemplate himself. He recognised that the human form is that which corresponds to the spirit and therefore, the instrument; ruled by proportion and symmetry, superior in beauty, the human form is among all forms the only one able to fully manifest the idea. He then reinvented the human body and sculpture was born.
