"Archers Shooting at a Herm" is a drawing by Michelangelo Buonarroti, created around 1530 during the High Renaissance period. This artwork, executed in pen and brown ink, showcases Michelangelo's mastery in depicting the human form and his deep understanding of human anatomy. The drawing features a group of nude male figures, rendered with dynamic lines and energetic poses, aiming their bows at a herm, which is a squared stone pillar topped with the head of the god Hermes.

The drawing is significant for several reasons. Firstly, it provides insight into Michelangelo's process and his studies of the human body in motion. The figures are sketched with a sense of movement that is both realistic and expressive, demonstrating the artist's skill in capturing the complexity of physical action. Secondly, the work is an example of Michelangelo's interest in classical themes and his engagement with ancient art and mythology. The herm itself is an object from ancient Greek and Roman tradition, often used as a boundary marker or a form of worship.

"Archers Shooting at a Herm" is held in the collection of the Royal Collection Trust and is housed in Windsor Castle. The drawing is not as widely recognized as Michelangelo's monumental works, such as the frescoes of the Sistine Chapel or the statue of David, but it remains an important piece within the oeuvre of Michelangelo's drawings. It reflects the artist's continuous exploration of the human form, his fascination with classical antiquity, and his influence on the art of drawing that persisted long after his death.

The drawing has been studied by art historians and scholars for its technique and as an example of Michelangelo's lesser-known works. It has also been included in various exhibitions that focus on the artist's drawings and his contribution to Renaissance art. "Archers Shooting at a Herm" continues to be a subject of interest for those studying Michelangelo's artistic legacy and the broader context of Renaissance art and its revival of classical themes.
