He liked sculpture better than drawings and paintings. However, he was fortunate enough to study under great teachers. Ghirlandio, I think ,was his name. Also, He studied people in the morgue which was prohibited. In return for this privilege he sculpted a resurrection scene and gave it to them..

On a deeper level, he became what he was inside. In other words, he was a sculptor and artist inside. The Popes made him do paintings, drawings, plans, and the Sistine Chapel which was difficult physically and took seven years I think.
His contemporaries were Raphael and Leonardo da vinci.
Florence was having a "rennaissance" .
During his time he was generally acknowledged to be the best in the world and he had fame. I hope this helps!
