Distortion
In Medici
Historical circumstances and the misunderstanding of
students who completed the Medici Chapel, caused distortions
and disharmonies in Michelangelo’s work.
Dr. Martin Weinberger, visiting professor of art and
architectural history, gave th:
content and meaning of this “un
finished masterpiece” in his
speech. The speech was the third
in the Liberal Arts Lecture Se
nes.
Few visitors to the Medici
tombs in Florence, Italy, even no
tice that the sculpture is fragmen
tary, he said. But to better un
derstand what is there, historians
have tried to trace the original
plans for sculpture which were
either unfinished or never exe
cuted.
Weinberger used two statues
of "Day” and "Night" which re
cline on two sarcophagi below
the principal statue of Duke
Juliano to show that the mas
terpieces are actually misrepre-

is comment last night on the
sentations of the artist's original
idea.
“It would seem that some fright
ful mistake was made here,” he
said, pointing out inconsistancies
from Michelangelo’s style. In
“Night,”, one arm disappears be
hind a sculptured tragic mask
“This can never have been Mi
chelangelo . . . whose first aim
was to make things clear,” Wein
berger said.
Using an unusual camera angle,
he was able to point out how it
was badly mounted, and to show
it in the proper perspective “wor
thy of Michelangelo.”
Weinberger said some schol
ars have found traces of man
nerism in the work—or willful
disharmony used by artists who
fried to lead away from the per
fect harmony of the high ren
aissance style.
Copies made of “Day” before
the original was in place, show
that some of the figure and beau
tiful drapery had been cut off.
“It is immediately clear from the
copy that the original could not
have sat on the sarcophagi lids
which are now there,” he said.
“Michelangelo is unfairly
blamed for creating a disharmony
he never meant,” Weinberger said.
The distortion was caused be
cause the lids were changed and
his pupils could not adjust the
figures to them. Early drawings
are convincing proof of this.
