| | Michelangelo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Michelangelo's Pietà, one of the absolute masterworks of sculptures of all times, was carved in 1499, when the sculptor was 24 years old. | | | The homoeroticism of Michelangelo's poetry was obscured when his grand nephew, Michelangelo the Younger, published an edition of the poetry in 1623 with the gender of pronouns changed. | | | Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni (March 6, 1475 – February 18, 1564), commonly known as Michelangelo, was a Renaissance artist, sculptor and poet. |

| | Michelangelo (1475-1564), Italian painter, sculptor, architect, and poet whose artistic accomplishments exerted a tremendous influence on his contemporaries and on subsequent European art. | | | Michelangelo considered the male nude to be the foremost subject in art, and he explored its range of movement and expression in every medium. | | | Eventually his father relented and allowed 13-year old Michelangelo to be apprenticed to Florentine painter Domenico Ghirlandaio. |

| | Although Michelangelo claimed that he was self-taught, one might perceive in his work the influence of such artists as Leonardo, Giotto, and Poliziano. | | | Michelangelo drew extensively as a child, and his father placed him under the tutelage of Ghirlandaio, a respected artist of the day. | | | Michelangelo showed mastery of the human figure in painting as well. |

| | Michelangelo refused to cover the people in his painting, so another artist was hired to paint clothes on his subjects. | | | But his father could not stop Michelangelo from drawing and in 1488, when Michelangelo was 13 years old, he was sent to begin his apprenticeship in the studio of a well-known artist named Ghirlanaio. | | | While he is most remembered for his frescoes on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in Rome and his sculpture of David, he was also an architect, a poet and a painter. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Michelangelo Buonarroti |
| | Michelangelo, who was not a fesco-painter, exerted all his powers of mind and body, abandoning his preference for the effects of sculpture in order to express without assistance and in defiance of the envious, the full ideal of his conceptions in this unwonted medium. | | | Michelangelo, one of the greatest artists of all times, came from a noble Florentine family of small means, and in 1488 was apprenticed to Domenico Ghirlandajo. | | | The ambitions of Michelangelo were insatiable, not so much owing to his desire for renown, as to his almost gigantic striving after the absolute ideal of art. |

| | Michelangelo certainly had a powerful sense of his own imperfection, yet he was also aware of the quality of his work and angry at patrons for not meeting what he judged to be their obligations. | | | Michelangelo produced at least two relief sculptures by the time he was 16 years old, the Battle of the Centaurs and the Madonna of the Stairs (both 1489-92, Casa Buonarroti, Florence), which show that he had achieved a personal style at a very early age. | | | Michelangelo (full name: Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni), arguably one of the most inspired creators in the history of art and, with Leonardo da Vinci, the most potent force in the Italian High Renaissance. |

| | Island of Freedom - Michelangelo Buonarroti |
| | Like his compatriot Donatello, Michelangelo to the end of his life saw himself primarily as a sculptor, once avowing that he drank in with his wet-nurse's milk the love of the stonecutter's tools. | | | The remainder of Michelangelo's career was largely controlled by his relationship with the papacy, and from 1505 to 1516 the Vatican became the focal point of his artistic endeavors. | | | A member of an old and distinguished Florentine family, Michelangelo was born near Arezzo, Italy, on Mar. 6, 1475, and he died on Feb. 18, 1564, in Rome--a record of longevity that was as unusual as his precocity as an artist. |

| | Michelangelo's pride of ancestry was evident in his dress and comportment, as well as in his frequent admonitions to members of his family to behave in a manner befitting their station. | | | Michelangelo's lament that "painting is not my art" proved a hollow objection since the pope's stubbornness was greater than his. | | | Michelangelo's skills as a letter writer and poet, and the subtlety of his thinking bespeak the formative influence of these years; never before or since has an artist received such a unique education. |

| | Michelangelo's desire to become an artist was initially opposed by his father, as to be a practising artist was then considered beneath the station of a member of the gentry. | | | Michelangelo was evidently reluctant to abandon his sculptural project for one of painting (always much less satisfying to him), but he nonetheless began work in 1508, completed the first half by 1510 and the whole ceiling by 1512. | | | Michelangelo gives a poignant account of his gruelling task, painting bent over backwards, his neck permanently arched to look up, his arm stretching upwards to wield his brush, in one of his sonnets. |

| | Michelangelo went on to study sculpture at Medici gardens, where, like Leonardo da Vinci, his talent was allowed to flourish by Lorenzo de Medici, patron of the arts, and ruler of Florence, who introduced him to the great thinkers of the renaissance. | | | While living with his surrogate parents, young Michelangelo learned the skills that would serve him throughout his life., but his father was displeased when his son told him he wanted to be an artist, and it took much convincing for Michelangelo to be permitted to further his apprenticeship. | | | Michelangelo truly had achieved fame as an artist, and his talent became sought after by Pope Julius II, who asked him to embark on a very demanding artistic journey, a commission to paint the ceiling of the Sistine chapel in the Vatican. |

| | On Michelangelo's return to Rome, Pope Julius II gave him a commission that was to weigh heavily on him for over forty years: the monumental tomb of the Pope, conceived as a typical classical mausoleum that united sculpture and painting. | | | His first attempts at sculpture were noticed by Lorenzo dei Medici, who took Michelangelo to live with his family in his house in Via Larga (now Via Cavour), where he was in close contact with the circle of political and cultural personalities (like Poliziano) that gravitated around the court. | | | Last of all, again at San Lorenzo, he worked on the project for the Laurentian Library (1524, but not completed until late in the century with the collaboration of Ammannati)), a real bridge between the high Renaissance and the Baroque style. |
