Description

Introducing an exclusive limited edition of 100 Michelangelo Skateboard Triptychs, a remarkable addition to Musart' original collection, Musart on Decks. This collection showcases one of the most iconic works by the Italian High-Renaissance artist, Michelangelo, featuring the Creation of Adam Panel from the Sistine Chapel Ceiling Fresco (1511-1512).

The Creation of Adam is one of the central panels of the Sistine Chapel ceiling fresco, depicting the powerful moment when God and Adam confront each other in a primordial landscape. Adam, still connected to the earth, represents the material world, while God transcends it, enveloped in billowing drapery and supported by His divine powers. This masterpiece represents the biblical passage from Genesis 1:26 (NIV), where God says, "Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground." Michelangelo captures the moment when life is bestowed upon Adam, as if a spark leaps from the extended hand of God.

The composition of this artwork guides the viewer's gaze from right to left, with Adam's extended left arm leading the eye back to the right, along with the Lord's arm, shoulders, and left arm pointing towards the face of the Christ Child. Through this deliberate arrangement, Michelangelo vividly exemplifies the Christian doctrine that draws a parallel between Adam, the first man and the cause of humanity's fall, and the subsequent redemption from sin through the sacrifice of Christ, referred to in Scripture as "The New Adam."

Musart takes pride in bringing together tradition and contemporary culture, presenting the exclusive original collection, Musart on Decks. These limited edition skateboard decks display timeless masterpieces from art history, bridging the gap between the traditional art world and the vibrant skateboarding culture, all offered at accessible prices.

Michelangelo

Michelangelo

As one of the most prominent artists of all time, Michelangelo shows us the tragic depth of the human experience. As a matter of fact, the artist's all-encompassing universality remains applicable hundreds of years later. Therefore, he has influenced countless artists and movements. His masterworks have certainly gained immortality that ensures his legacy will live on. Michelangelo had significant success throughout his career, making various masterworks from almost every period of life. Michelangelo created the Pieta in 1497 which is a work of sculpted marble depicting the body of Jesus on the lap of his mother Mary after the crucifixion. His work was a brilliant blend of physical realism, psychological insight, and intensity that had never really been grasped at the time. Indeed, it always remains difficult to approach to this day. His works are the absolute definition of masterpieces. The ceiling of the Sistine Chapel and the statue of David, are works that will stand the test of time.
