In the vaults below Bill Gates estate, in his vast collection of journals and notebooks from artists from the Renaissance to Photographers from the twentieth century, a square shaped leather crafted handbook once belonging to Michelangelo Di Lodovico Buonarroti highlights his crowning achievement. Written on the margin, a footnote corresponding to a schematic drawing of God�s vision of man expressed through the hands of Michelangelo himself, then to be carved to life from a single uncut block of marble.
The Italian sculpture writes; �To my achieving act of God�s abiding servant, shall thy heart of man bring forth, my humblest statue David shall be transformed to the island of Trinity, there he shall be clothed, only then shall God rest.�
Believe it on not, Michaelangelo�s intolerance to the hypocrisies of church clergymen allowed him to immortalize their portraits by cleverly disguising the their faces to the fresco paintings penis heads of male nudes not clearly visible on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.
But can one paint a face on a anus itself ?
The universal artworks of artist such as Michaelangelo and Da Vinci have been used numerously in advertising to promote the priceless-ness and co- relationship with the product itself. If the magnificent David could use this product, why not you. And here is where the price-less put to use. Is this a freebee?
Michelangelo had once remarked, �The accuracy of drawing and sculpturing feet pose my greatest challenge.� The statues� head is larger than normal this was deliberately done to compensate the viewing of the sculpture standing 14 ft 3 in tall. Placed outside the Palazzo Vecchio the statue would be optical correct in proportion.
