Terribilità
From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia
|
One of the qualities most admired by Michelangelo's contemporaries was his terribilità, a sense of awe-inspiring grandeur, and it was the attempts of subsequent artists to imitate Michelangelo's impassioned and highly personal style that resulted in Mannerism, the next major movement in Western art after the High Renaissance. |

Terribilità Is an Italian word that Michelangelo's 16th century contemporaries used to define his works, especially in his sculptures, as in the figure of David or in Moses.
Pope Julius II was the first to label it uomo terribile. This terribilità, also references the neoplatonics of humanists such as Marsilio Ficino, who had known Miguel Ángel in his youth.
