What else can I help you with?
Who was offered the Sistine Chapel ceiling before Michelangelo and refused it?
This is news to me, even though I have read a lot abot the Sistine Chapel and about Michelangelo. So for the time being I believe that Michelangelo had the first offer. Or rather, that Pope Julius more or less forced Michelangelo to do it. Before Michealangelo began his work the Chapel walls were a showcase for works of art by Ghirlandaio, Perugino, Signorelli and Botticelli. The Papal architect was Bramante who Michelangelo suspected of setting him up for failure due to poor scaffolding Bramante had built for the project.
What church did Donatello and Michelangelo design together?
Donatello was not an architect. He did not co-work with Michelangelo, especially since he died in 1466 and Michelangelo was born in 1475.
Was Michelangelo paint in Sistine Chapel's ceiling a punishment?
Perhaps Michelangelo thought so at times. Somewhat unsure of his abilities as a painter, he is reported to have suspected the commission was a plot by the Papal architect Bramante to embarrass him with failure. He complained to Pope Julius II 'The place is wrong and no painter I'. The Pope often visited Michelangelo while he was working on the ceiling, and as the Pope often did he asked when Michelangelo would be finished. His answer was 'when I can' . One day the Pope was especially irritable and struck Michelangelo with his staff repeating 'when I can, when I can'. The Pope sent 500 ducats to Michelangelo as an apology and work continued.
Where was Michelangelo's piece of art The Angel work of art located?
In San Domenico church, Bologna. The angel is a detail in The Ark of St Dominic.
Why did Michelangelo invent scaffolding?
Michaelangelo did not actual invent scafolding. Scaffolding had long since been used in many situations wher hard to reach areas had to be worked on. When he was working on the SSistene chapel the pope had ordered a scaffold built for him to work from by Michelangelo's arch-enemy Bramante. The problem was that this involved drilling holes in the ceiling that had to have the work done on it. Michael Angelo complained to the pope and the pope said to him. do it your way then. So he built it supported from the ground instead.
