Michelangelo's Earliest Known Work


This image provided Wednesday, May 13, 2009 by the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth, Texas shows the 1487 oil and tempera painting on a wood panel 'The Torment of Saint Anthony' by Michelangelo, believed to be his earliest known work painted when the artist was 12 or 13 years old. The Kimbell will be the first U.S. museum to display a Michelangelo painting after it acquired this rare piece. Read more here.

orangehouse aside: 12 or 13 years old huh? I think Michelangelo would have lost his shit over this.
