"Auto Mechanics In the Style of Michelangelo--UPDATED"

Thanks (I think) to a friend.

Besides Mike we have da Vinci and Rembrandt along with a still life from an un-named school, probably Flemish or Dutch.
(it's titled after a Rembrandt in the Dutch Royal collection at the Mauritshuis, the Haag, but the composition is totally different)

Update: my comment above is fāke .
I confused the caption of one photo, The Anatomy Lesson, for the correct caption, Still Life 1.
Regret the error.

This guy is very, very good.

 The Creation of Adam by Michaelangelo:

A bit of Rembrandt inspired garageiness:
