That is hard to know today. However, he was known to say he could see the figure inside the marble block struggling to be freed from the stone. Very interesting fact to know, especially when you look at his unfinished work, the 'Slaves'.

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.
