Bird's-eye view of Michelangelo's design for the Campidoglio, 1569
Étienne Dupérac
Etching, first state
Michelangelo became involved in plans to renovate the Capitoline Hill (Campidoglio) in the 1530s. Finally, in the 1560s, he transformed this unwieldy site into a stately piazza by renovating the Palazzo dei Conservatori. Construction began in 1563, barely a year before his death. Michelangelo reworked an old window design from the Palazzo Farnese (on the nearby plinth) to design a niche within the new palace.*
From the exhibition
Michelangelo the last decades
(May – July 2024)
In 1534, Michelangelo left Florence for Rome, never to see his native city again. He was 59, which many contemporaries regarded as old, but for Michelangelo this move marked the beginning of a dramatic new chapter which would fundamentally shape his experiences as an artist and as a man.
This exhibition looked at the last 30 years of Michelangelo's remarkable life, when his return to Rome – having been summoned by Pope Clement VII to paint a fresco of the Last Judgment in the Sistine Chapel – brought him new commissions and reunited him with some of his closest friends.
Having secured his reputation with works including his famous statue of David, Michelangelo was already the most celebrated artist in Europe. But, rather than resting on his laurels, his Christian faith, intellectual engagement and hope for salvation propelled him to produce some of the most striking works of his career. Forceful preparatory drawings for the Last Judgment, which were on show, as well as the monumental Epifania – one of only two surviving cartoons by Michelangelo – demonstrate his renewed energy and desire to challenge himself.
These works were displayed alongside studies for Michelangelo's grand architectural projects as well as drawings, poems and intimate letters that reveal his personal passions and anxieties. Rather than showing an artist in decline, this exhibition showed the astonishing dynamism that Michelangelo brought to his work in the final decades of his life as he explored salvation and confronted his mortality.

This concept is of a giant that eats people in the same way people eat berries off a bush. He feeds once a months and travels for long distances. He usually comes back around every 10 years.
