Why many of Michelangelo’s paintings were consists of naked people?
Michelangelo believed in Neo-Platonism
What we see is not real, just an illusion
The true soul has no clothes; he wants to show the most natural state of humans. There were also rumors stating that Michelangelo was a homosexual because of his habit of painting male more than females.
Metaphor, symbol – true reality from this reality
A movie example of this concept is The Matrix. People living in a virtual world which seems to be their actual world.
