As a matter of fact Michelangelo did not really fancy himself as a painter. Hhe was a sculptor, that was what he wanted to do. He did paint the Old Testament scenes in the Sistine Chapel because the Pope ordered him to. He also painted a couple of smaller biblical scenes, oil on canvas. Not much more.
