The focus of this paper is on the visual analysis of Michelangelo Buonarroti's (c.1475-1564) Taddei Tondo, specifically addressing the understanding of the startled Jesus depicted in the artwork. This artwork is housed in the Royal Academy of Arts in London. The historical context reveals the challenges Michelangelo faced and the incomplete nature of the relief. Previous articles have seldom delved into a detailed explanation and analysis of whether Jesus in the Taddei Tondo is startled and how the portrayal of being startled is expressed. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to establish this aspect and reveal the artistic choices Michelangelo made in depicting the startled Jesus in a complex state. The paper incorporates scholars' interpretations and organizes relevant perspectives, presenting both affirmative and opposing viewpoints. It then utilizes visual analysis to dissect the composition and thematic elements and emphasizes the interaction between Christ Child and the goldfinch. The analysis delves into the details of the relief with the aim of showcasing Michelangelo's understanding of the humanity of the Holy Infant when dealing with related elements, considering it a key aspect of comprehending the artwork. Additionally, the paper establishes connections between the Taddei Tondo and earlier artworks, exploring how Michelangelo, by incorporating personal understanding into traditional forms, conveys authenticity and emphasizes the humanity of Jesus. |
