Michelangelo’s First Painting Ever

Inspiraggio

"The Torment of Saint Anthony" is the first known painting by Michelangelo… and the most incredible part is that he created it when he was just twelve years old. For centuries, this work was attributed to other artists, dismissed as just another copy. No one imagined that behind this dramatic, demon-filled scene was the brush of a child who would one day change the course of art history. But today, thanks to technical studies and a fascinating rediscovery, this painting has finally emerged from the shadows. And one question becomes inevitable: What inspired Michelangelo to paint something so dark at such a young age?
