Abstract
Michelangelo Bounarroti born in Italy and lived between 1475 and 1564. He had a vast knowledge in anatomy and it is confirmed by the perfection in which human is represented in his works. This fact draws the attention of scholars from a variety of areas concerning the study of human body to be interested in his art works.
