Sandrún's Michelangeloism is evident in this powerful interpretation of the great Viennese musician, seen as a Homeric hero. The anatomical perfection, strained in the effort of artistic creativity, seems to focus on the contracted features of the face. The open mouth, the intense gaze, the medusa-like hair: everything tells us about an exceptional man, superhuman and above all - because of his lyrical and beautiful nudity - true in the Sandronian sense of the term. Measurements: 55×106x42 cm.
