Michelangelo and His Age

We enter the hall, immersed in twilight, and only small windows, from which light is shining from another world unknown to us, are wide open.However, these are not windows -it is an exhibition of drawings, Michelangelo and His Age, at the Vienna Albertina Museum.Sheets of antique paper framed with modest classic frames emit a magical, unimaginable light.The sheets bear traces of soft touches of great masters' hands.These are their souls, names, voices, their passions, tenderness and despair, their conversation with God.And we become witnesses of this dialogue.Graphics are the most mystical kind of art, revealing all the hidden movements of the soul, displaying moments that do not tolerate artisanal varnishing, elaboration, polishing, sweating effort, and a brief touch, a handshake, a splash of feelings.Here they are before us -divine testimonies of closeness to God, his reciprocal love for us.
