Michelangelo unfinished. The unfinished sculptures by Michelangelo to be seen at the Galleria dell'Accademia in Florence offer a rare and profound glimpse into the creative process of one of history’s greatest artists. Known as the "Prisoners" or "Slaves," these works appear to be figures struggling to emerge from the raw marble, capturing a powerful sense of movement and emotion frozen in time. Michelangelo believed the sculpture already existed within the stone, and his task was to liberate it - a philosophy vividly embodied in these incomplete masterpieces.
