The 36 black-and-white photographs of Aurelio Amendola capture in unexpected ways the sensuality and
tragic force emanating from the statues carved by Michelangelo. His lens seems to coincide and overlap
with the sculptor’s eye at the moment of observing the different angles of the marble surface. From the
Dying Slave of the Louvre, to the statues of Sagrestia Nuova of San Lorenzo, to the Pietà Rondanini
of Milano, to the Crouching Boy of St. Petersburg,.
Aurelio Amendola is an Italian Photographer noted for his work on Italian Renaissance Sculpture.
