Michelangelo's teen painting in Texas museum

Thursday, May 14, 2009


The Torment of St Anthony, an awesome monster painting that experts believe to be the work of Michelangelo when he was just 12 or 13 years old, has been purchased by The Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth. I actually like this more than a lot of the stuff he did as an adult. It's so... Bosch-y!

"Science fiction plucks from within us our deepest fears and hopes, then shows them to us in rough disguise: the monster and the rocket." - W.H. Auden

Who is he, this one who is called "Greg Stacy"?

Greg Stacy began the MONSTERS AND ROCKETS blog in April of 2009. Prior to that, he was editor of the popular sci-fi/horror news website DARKWOLDS.COM. He has also written for LA WEEKLY, OC WEEKLY, UTNE READER and LOS ANGELES CITYBEAT. He always feels weird writing about himself in the third person.
