Three Geniuses Michelangelo’s Sonnet "Here like a cat in sewer! Swelter and toil! With my neck puffed out like a pigeon, belly hanging like an empty sack, beard pointing at the ceiling, and my brain fallen backwards in my head! Breastbone bulging like a harpy’s and my face, from drips and droplets, patterned like a marble pavement. Ribs are poking in my guts; the only way to counterweight my shoulders is to stick my butt out. Don’t know where my feet arethey’re just dancing by themselves! In front I’ve sagged and stretched; behind, my back is tauter than an archer’s bow!" Raphael Studied work of Michelangelo and da Vinci Religious subjects Known for The School of Athens Raphael’s The Betrothal of the Virgin Raphaels’s Deposition of Christ 1507
