Exam take-home question:   Is the Cupid (in the French Cultural Embassy)  a possible early work by

       Michelangelo, in your opinion?  Please cite visual evidence (i.e., comparison to other works by M.) to primarily support your claim;

       you may also cite other evidence (such as art historians’ arguments, provenance, etc.) that has been published

       (use Google Scholar, or JSTOR). Two pages max (can type or handwrite). You do not have to give extensive background on

the piece; concentrate on your argument pro/con.  [Due: at the exam, 5/1; can turn in earlier; hardcopy only please; no illustrations necessary]
