he was a poet, but was most famous for beind depicted as a work of art.
When painting the brush is pretty important.
I suppose you mean why it was IMPORTANT to him. It was not until Pope Julius II commissioned Michelangelo to paint the ceiling.
pieta
The most important works of Michelangelo were done for the popes and they were wealthy enough (JuliusII, Leo X, Clement VII and Paul III).
Does the Cisten Chapel ring a bell; how about the statue "David"....
Leonardo da vinci, Botticelli, Michelangelo are three painters...
If i had to pick one thing, maybe the Sistine chapel.
Michelangelo, Leonardo Da Vinci and RAPHAEL
One difference is that Michelangelo preferred sculpture to painting. In painting Leonardo sought the means to make painted figures seem real. For Michelangelo it was important to have his figures look great and awe-inspiring.
Michelangelo did.
Art. Plain and simple. Michelangelo produced some of the most fascinating artworks ever. He produced the Pieta, the Statue of David, the artwork in the Sistine Chapel, and many more. Michelangelo reinvented art and cast a shadow that will last the time of the world.
Yes, that is right. He was one of the most important High Renaissance artists.
