uarez is hosting an exhibition of replicas of pieces by one of the greatest Italian Renaissance artists: Michelangelo. With a height of more than 6.5 feet, sculpted in marble, Michelangelo's David imposes itself before anyone who looks at it. This is how we began the tour of Michelangelo, "The Divine", a temporary exhibition offered by the Secretary of Culture. The exhibition will remain until August 30, showing the exact replicas of the most renowned Renaissance author's most significant works. The adapted Octavio Trias room into a Galleria host beautiful pieces. The sculpture of a Chimera proudly shows its broken teeth, victim of the artist's anger.
A dark corridor leads to a room with low lighting. A series of sculptures by the Italian artist is displayed, with the Pietà of Rome, one of the most beautiful and admired sculptures in the world, standing out. Sketches and pencil portraits follow it, hung on the wall of the corridor, the extraordinary work The Last Judgment, to conclude with his most remarkable creation: the sky of the Sistine Chapel. As a fun fact, the curator of the exhibition, Gianluca Salvadori, says that the artist refused several times to do it but finally agreed under protest. The Dying Slave, Bacchus and The Moses, and many more works await you at Michelangelo, "The Divine", at the Paso del Norte Cultural Center. Don't miss the chance to admire pieces exhibited in museums in Italy, France, Germany, Russia, among others, all gathered in one place. 60
