This distinguished Visconti collection is a homage to Renaissance brilliance. It celebrates Michelangelo Buonarroti, one of art history’s most influential figures. Renowned as a symbol of the Italian Renaissance, Michelangelo seamlessly integrated painting, sculpture, architecture, and poetry into a distinctive and comprehensive artistic language.
Inspired by Michelangelo’s brilliance, this writing instrument embodies the creative power of light, color, and form. Its three color variants draw from the vibrant shades that Michelangelo skillfully applied in his most famous frescoes.
The pen features a body made from translucent resin, meticulously shaped with longitudinal facets that amplify its radiance and produce a complex visual depth and motion. This surface evokes a sense of vitality and dynamism, constantly shifting—mirroring the essence of the Master's artwork.
All metal components are finished with palladium plating, complementing the silhouette’s classic and enduring elegance.
The central ring prominently features the original "Michelagnolo" signature in high relief, replicating the way the master signed his creations.
On the reverse side of the band, a subtle detail emerges: the depiction of God’s and Adam’s hands, drawn from the renowned Sistine Chapel fresco, The Creation of Adam. A refined homage, almost concealed, inviting the observer to take a moment and recognize the artistic resonance in a small yet deeply meaningful detail.
With the Michelangelo line of fine writing instruments, Visconti reinforces its commitment to honoring iconic figures in art and culture by blending Italian craftsmanship, design innovation, and artistic influence.
"The sculpture is already complete within the marble block, before I start my work. It is already there, I just have to chisel away the superfluous." - Michelangelo Buonarroti
