Question

Art critic Walter Pater once claimed that this painting’s title figure was “fair as the young men of the Elgin Marbles” and called the depicted pose “satyr-like.” In a parody of this painting, Barbara Kruger overlayed the text (-5[1])“You invest in the divinity of the masterpiece” over its main action. The twisted torso of the title figure was likely inspired by the fragmentary (-5[1])Belvedere Torso, which was displayed with a red chalk study of this painting in a 2015 British Museum exhibit. Many art historians have likened a cluster of red and green cloth at the right of this painting to a uterus or a brain surrounding a floating figure (10[1])with a white beard. For 10 points, name this painting depicting a Biblical character reaching out to touch God’s finger, (10[1])a central work of Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel ceiling. ■END■ (10[2])
