Standing an impressive 60 cm (23.6 inches) high, this substantial sculpture makes a bold and confident decorative statement - its scale, balance, and classical presence commanding attention in any interior.

Meticulously cast in heavy polystone (ca. 20 kg), the bust captures the sculptural tension and idealized beauty of Michelangelo’s original with remarkable fidelity. The finely modeled curls, lifelike features and intent gaze are rendered with crisp precision, while the soft, subtly lustrous surface evokes the look of aged marble. The piece’s considerable weight and texture convey a sense of permanence and quality.

Evocative of both Renaissance humanism and modern minimalism, this sculpture bridges art history and contemporary design. It serves equally well as a standalone statement piece or as part of an eclectic collection - timeless, architectural, and quite dramatic. See less
