Definition:
(plural noun) - From the Italian adjective nudo, meaning "naked". Ignudi is the phrase coined by Michelangelo to describe the twenty seated male nudes he incorporated into the Sistine Chapel ceiling frescoes. Each represents the male human figure at its most idealized, in a sort of blending of ancient Classicism and modern naked super heroes (a topic about which Michelangelo could not have known), and none had anything at all to do with Bible stories.
Also Known As: ignudo (singular form)
