Bien que la sculpture soit née avant la peinture, elle a longtemps été considérée comme un simple complément de l'architecture, le plus ancien des trois arts majeurs. Utilisant les mêmes matériaux (bois, pierre, et marbre), elle semblait n'être faite que pour servir d'ornementation à cette dernière. Elle a pu cependant imposer peu à peu sa valeur propre et son autonomie.Cette indépendance est venue avec le besoin de représenter le corps...

Michel-Ange (Michelangelo Buonarroti) (Caprese, 1475 - Rome, 1564)
Michel-Ange, comme Léonard de Vinci, avait plusieurs cordes à son arc et était à la fois sculpteur, architecte, peintre et poète. Il porta à leur apothéose le mouvement musculaire et l'effort, équivalents plastiques de la passion, à ses yeux.
