Abstract
This thesis investigates a collection of six mythological and allegorical drawings created by Michelangelo Buonarroti for the young Roman aristocrat Tommaso de Cavalieri between 1532 and 1534. The goal is to delineate the unique quality of those sheets, that are not only a departure from the predominantly religious subject matters that concerned Michelangelo throughout his career, but may also be understood as unprecedented intimate expressions of affection for Tommaso.
