"Rebellious Slave" is a renowned sculpture by the Italian Renaissance master Michelangelo Buonarroti, created between 1513 and 1516. This work is part of a series of statues intended for the tomb of Pope Julius II, which underwent numerous revisions throughout its long gestation period. The "Rebellious Slave" is one of the two slaves (the other being the "Dying Slave") that Michelangelo completed for the project, both of which are now housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris.

The sculpture stands at approximately 2.15 meters (7.05 feet) in height, embodying a powerful expression of physical and emotional struggle. The figure is captured in a moment of intense resistance, with its body twisted in an effort to free itself from unseen bonds. The dynamic pose, marked by the slave's turned head and the tension in its muscles, reflects Michelangelo's mastery of depicting the human form and his deep understanding of human emotion and spirit.

Michelangelo's "Rebellious Slave" is often interpreted as a symbol of the struggle for freedom and the inherent desire for liberation from physical or metaphorical bondage. The unfinished state of the sculpture, with rough hewn surfaces juxtaposed against highly polished areas, further enhances the sense of struggle and incompleteness, possibly reflecting the artist's own feelings about the unfulfilled potential of the human spirit or his frustrations with the tomb project's continuous alterations and delays.

The "Rebellious Slave," along with its counterpart, the "Dying Slave," represents a significant departure from traditional Renaissance ideals of beauty and harmony, instead embracing a more complex and turbulent depiction of the human condition. These works have been influential in the development of art, heralding the transition towards Mannerism and the Baroque period, and continue to be studied and admired for their emotional depth, technical mastery, and innovative approach to sculptural form.
