Michelangelo's mother died when he was only six years old. Perhaps she wanted him to be a banker like his father, but no one really knows.

His father sent him to school at an early age to study grammar, but Michelangelo showed no interest in it and preferred painting and drawing. His father did support him, however, and got him an apprenticeship with a respected painter when he was only thirteen years old.
