Adding to what Sharemia said, Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni was born on March 6, 1475 and died on February 18, 1564. He is famous for creating the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel and also the Last Judgement over the altar. He also designed the dome of St. Peter's Basilica.

Michael Angelos' most brilliant sculpture was his 13 foot high marble statue of avid. he had made this all by himself. this statue still stands strong, and tall this statue was also given a honor.

Adding to what Sharemia, Anta and Navleen said, Michelangelo focused his last 30 years of his life on architecture. In his paintings and sculptures he learned from his predecessors and improved on techniques.

Adding to Sharemia, Anta and Navleen’s comments on Michelangelo, he was an artist that is thought of as a renaissance artist because of the attention he paid to the features of the human body in his masterpieces. An interesting sculpture by Michelangelo that’s not as famous as his piece, David, is a piece called the Pietà which is a statue of Jesus in the arms of Mary, his mother, and it was made in 1499.

Adding on to what Sheremia, Anta, Navleen, Justin, and Thomas said... Michelangelo was indeed a great sculptor, painter, architect and poet. Michelangelo wanted to become an artist since he was a child but his father was against it. He became Domenico Ghirlandaio's apprentice in 1488 for three years. Later on when he took on painting as a full job he said that he was self-taught because he didn’t want people to recognize him as a"product of the workshop systems". Before he ended his apprenticeship he decided to go to school. He went to a school that was set up by Lorenzo. When Lorenzo died the school had separated and Michelangelo went to a hospital to study anatomy. His work was influenced by a couple of peopleand one of the people being Donatello. (Samantha R.)
Michelangelo was apprenticed in 1488 for a three year term to Domencio Ghirlandaio. later in life Michelo tried to suppress this apprentice impying that he was largely self-taught,undoubtly because he did not want to present himself as a product of the workshop system which was carried as the stigma of painting amd sculpture being taught as crafts not liberal arts.

Adding to what Sharemia, Anta, Navleen, Justin and Thomas said, Michealangelo was a artist, a sculpture and a poet. He painted the beatiful work of art on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel and the Last Judgement over the altar. Rome's civic center is now facing the direction of St. Peters and the Christian Church because of Michelangelo. Michealangelo made many great accomplishments in his life span.

Adding to what Sharemia, Anta, Navleen, Justin and Thomas said, When Michelangelo was in his early twenties he created a life size sculpture of the Virgin Mary holding her son in her arms.This statue is called the Pieta. Also Michelangelo carved one of the most famous Sculpture out of a single slab of marble.

As Sheremia said Michelangelo had studied sculptures that what he did untill the Julius II demanded him to do somethin eles. He demanded him to paint twelve figures of apostles and some decorations on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. Everyone knew him as a sculptor so then he had to perfect art and study up art and how to paint. He started painting the figure in April on 1508 and by October 1512 he had painted over 300 figures on the ceiling. Harold Ramsawmy
Adding to Sharemia and the others, Michelangelo's first designs for solving the intractable urbanistic, symbolic, political and propaganda program for the Campidoglio dated from 1536. The commission was from the Farnese Pope Paul III, who wanted a symbol of the new Rome to impress the emperor and King of Spain Charles V, who was expected to visit the city in 1538.-Marc Zaman-
Michelangelo was a sensitive person too due to Michelangelo's art is his love of male beauty which attracted him both aesthetically and emotionally. Such feelings caused him great anguish, and he expressed the struggle between platonic ideals and carnal desire in his sculpture, drawing and his poetry, too, for among his other accomplishments Michelangelo was the great Italian lyric poet of the 16th century.-Marc Zaman-

Michelangelo was a very famous Italian Sculptor, Painter, Architect. and poet. He was one of the founders of the "High Renaissance and after, he became one of the prinicipls exponents of Mannerism. -Simran Kaur
Adding to what Harold,Sharemia, Samantha,Simran,and Navleen said Michelangelo was of the greatest artists who lived during the renaissance. Michelangelo was born in 1475 near Arezzo, in Caprese, Tuscany. Since he was very young he had a love for art, but his father was against this and wished for him to pursue a more honorable job(”His father even beat him to persuade him”) Later Michelangelo continued towards his dream job as a full time artist. He attended school and became an apprentice in painting and in sculpture. Michelangelo’s studies was then ceased by Savonarola who took over his town in Florence. Savonarola was an anti-Renaissance man whom wanted to put an end to these new ways of thinking and prompted the “burning of books and destruction of art.” After the fall of Savonarola Michelangelo continued his work in art. He was responsible for some of the most amazing pieces of art we have today. The most well-known art of his are the sculptor of David, Pietà, and the Sistine Chapel ceiling. The sculptor of Pietà depicts the Virgin Mary holding Jesus’s body after the crucifixion. The Sistine Chapel ceiling included “300 biblical figures” and told stories from the bible and Book of Genesis.Through out his life Michelangelo was also known as "inventor delle porcherie" which meant "inventor of obscenities", for his work exposing the “human genitals.” Michelangelo was also a homosexual individual. Michelangelo “thought that art originated from inner inspiration and from culture.” Michelangelo trully was an Renaissance man he helped reform the time through his great paintings and sculptors which we still admire today. ~Shivani

Michelangelo was born in 1475 in Caprese, Tuscany, located in a region of central Italy. He was a great painter, scuplter, and artist. Michelangelo took great interest in art but his father wanted him to take on something more honorable. Even with all that he suffered from his father Micelangelo continued to study art. He became the student of Bertoldo di Giovanni for sculpting and for painting he studied under Domenico Ghirlandaio. Also, later on Michelangelo enrolled in the school of Lorenzo. He was influenced by many people there and his ideas of art kept on expanding. As his ideas increased he created two works of art, Madonna of the Steps and Battle of the Centaurs.

My favorite Michelango sculpture is Pieta. I really like his use of a young Virgin Mary. It adds much drama to the sculpture as well as plays with the viewers paradigm of the Virgin Mary always being young and virginal. I wold love to see it before I die. I just wonder if they will let me into the Vatican since I'm not Catholic.
