Copie după Michelangelo is a 1850 by Karl Storck, held at Bucharest Municipality Museum.
This sketch shows a face twisted in a scream, hair wild and tangled. The lines are rough and smudged, like someone drew it fast. One hand clutches at the air, fingers spread. The artist copied another famous drawing—Michelangelo’s work—to study his style. The loose, messy strokes make the face feel raw and urgent. Next, look up Storck, Karl to see more of his sketches.
Karl Storck (1826–1887) was a Hessian-born Romanian sculptor and art theorist, the most prominent Romanian sculptor of his time. His sons Carol Storck (1854–1926) and Frederic Storck (1872–1924), were also noted artists.
