Price History
Description
Reclining Male Nude is a rare drawing by Michelangelo Buonarroti (Italian, 1475-1564) to have survived of the reclining figure of Adam reaching out to God the Father, whose touch grants him life. This study of Adam was in preparation for the fresco of The Creation of Man on the vault of the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican, Rome. It was drawn in dark red chalk over a stylus underdrawing. Presented in a wooden frame with a golden finish, it's ready to hang on your wall. Have you thought about hooks and fittings?
Our Stylist Says
I love this guy because of its classic and timeless appeal-tiny but impactful. The red and gold tones make it a versatile choice that can add warmth and a touch of luxury to both modern and traditional interiors. It works particularly well in spaces with neutral colour schemes, where it can serve as a focal point on a gallery wall or sit comfortably on a mantel or sideboard. For styling tips, consider pairing it with other framed artwork or decorative accents in similar hues to create a cohesive look. Due to its size, it’s ideal for smaller walls or as part of a curated collection, making it a smart pick for adding art without overwhelming the space.

About John Lewis
A Legacy of Innovation and Inclusion
John Lewis started as a small shop on London's Oxford Street in 1864. Today, it's part of a bigger family called the John Lewis Partnership, which also includes Waitrose stores.
What makes them special is that they're owned by their employees, known as 'Partners'. The idea, from the beginning, was to give everyone a say in how the business was run. With over 74,000 Partners (employees) at the heart of its operations, the essence of John Lewis's vision, from over a century ago, still echoes today being the largest employee-owned venture.
Adapting to Changing Times
Like many stores, John Lewis has had to change with the times. They've closed some shops but have grown their online business a lot, especially when more people started shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their history is filled with key moments, like buying Peter Jones in 1905, adding Waitrose in 1937, and starting their website in 2001. They've always tried to adapt and stay relevant.
Commitment to a Greater Purpose
John Lewis believes in doing good and making the world a better place. This is seen in the way they treat their employees and customers. For example, in 2021, they were the first big UK store to give parents six months paid leave when they have a baby and two weeks paid leave if they lose a pregnancy. They've been around for over a century and always aim to do the right thing by everyone.
