The marble metamorphosis from barrel to cap reflect the progression of Michelangelo’s artistic style from marble sculpture: the polish to rough finishing / semi matt and deep rough finishing matt. The engraving on the forepart is inspired by his ceiling painting of Sistine chapel, a cornerstone work of High Renaissance art. |

| Nib | The Au750 solid gold nib is enriched with a fine engraving inspired by his self-portrait. |
| Limitation | One of his most beautiful love poems, the emotional love sonnet number 96 served as the source of inspiration for the limitation to only 96 pieces. |
