The Bargello

The Bargello museum here in Florence is one of my favorite. The collection is incredible and it's one of the best places to come and draw on a rainy day. I did a bunch of drawings on both visits, I'll be posting a few of those in the next few days. This is the first, which is a drawing Michelangelo's Apollo. This sculpture was debated about several occasions, first whether it was a Michelangelo or not and then whether is was an Apollo or a David sculpture. From further investigation the sculpture is now accepted as a Michelangelo and is sometimes referred to as the "Apollo-David" or "Apollinio" it is still one of my favorite sculptures at the Bargello and an excellent example of Michelangelo's Non-Finito pieces.
