The title of Renaissance Man is almost completely true of Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni (March 6, 1475 - February 18, 1564). Michelangelo was an Italian Renaissance painter, sculptor, architect, poet and engineer. His versatility in the disciplines he took up was of such a high order that he is often considered as the embodiment of the cultural and intellectual revival which began in the thirteenth century. Another contender for the title of the archetypal Renaissance man was Michelangelo's rival, and fellow Italian, Leonardo da vinci.

Michelangelo was a typical Renaissance man because:

1. His art work showed freedom of thought and it was hischoice to paint in biblical themes because the church was no longer in power.

2. He showed attention to detail and emotion in the works. He often went to Morgues and studied the dead to get a better look at the human body. His Statue of David was the finest nude statue the world had ever seen (4.34m high) and it was honouring the human form which was banned before until the Renaissance began.

3. Michelangelo used soft lines when he painted and things were realistic.

4. Central figures in his paintings and sculptures were emphasised and were painted three dimensional - using the Laws of Perspective.

5. His paintings used bright colours, not dull, boring and stereotyped liked the Medieval art.

6. Finally, he used oil paints, shining white marble and fresco in his paintings and sculptures.
