The paper is dedicated to the study of the architectural oeuvre by Michelangelo Buonarroti. Based on the analysis of sculpture, painting and architecture by the brilliant master of the Italian Renaissance, the author of the article proves that the architectural aspect is inherent in all of Michelangelo’s creations. The study provides an elemental, structural and functional analysis of the architectural project of the Capitoline Square. Revealing the main idea of the Capitoline project, the author of the paper demonstrates how Michelangelo’s architectural output correlates with the artist’s pictorial creations. The study reveals the essence of the artistic dialogue between the architectural project of the Capitoline Square and the monumental pictorial project of the Sistine Chapel.
