8 works across 3 institutions
London holds 8 works by Michelangelo across 3 institutions, including National Gallery, Victoria and Albert Museum, and British Museum.
As a painter, Michelangelo's surviving works are few but extraordinary; the Sistine Chapel ceiling must be seen in situ to understand its physical and psychological scale. The panel paintings in Florence reveal the obsessive draftsmanship that underpinned everything he made.
