Michelangelo was one of the best artists who ever lived. He was an Italian man who lived in Florence as a young man and lived in Rome in his old age and died there. His sculptures are the best that have ever been sculpted, because of their incredibly realistic human figures. His most famous sculptures are the Pieta in Saint Peter's Basilica in Rome and his David in the Academia in Florence. His painting was as good as his sculpture, even though he never considered himself a painter.
