1497 (ca.), Michelangelo, The Manchester Madonna -- National Gallery (London)
From the museum label: This unfinished, sculptural painting shows the young Michelangelo's approach to painting, with visible, controlled underdrawing and piecemeal execution. The Child looks at a book, while the angels contemplate a scroll. Both probably carry prophecy of Christ's death. The young Baptist gazes inward in possible awareness of the future.
