Download a Free Met Podcast Today: Michelangelo’s First Painting
The Metropolitan Museum of Art says:
Keith Christiansen and Michael Gallagher of the Met discuss their research and conservation of the first known painting by Michelangelo Buonarroti believed to have been created when he was twelve or thirteen years old (circa 1487-88). Recently acquired by the Kimbell Art Museum, the painting The Torment of Saint Anthony underwent conservation and technical examination at the Met, leading to this new attribution.

Wow- this is awesome. Check out more about Michelangelo at- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelangelo
Fantastic! This much technique from a first timer? He must have fiddled around with paint before... I think of kaiju; those amazing giant Japanese monsters on film in Godzilla, Ultraman, ect. Monsters cloned together from myth and seafood with bad tempers thrown in. Apparently some things in the 12 year old psyche are eternal, LOL.
completely unimpressive.

This is a over played idea of some what religous theme where a man is being tormented by his inner deamon and that they will eventually be taken to hell.
I've read about this painting a lot. I'm fond of arts. By the way, it is easy to find a lot of nice books in History of Art at the pdf books search engine http://pdf.rapid4me.com . Well, as for this painting some scientists doubt that it was the first Michelangelo's work. I believe you'll agree that it is too great to be his first but who knows.
