Andrea del Verrocchio, born Andrea di Michele di Francesco de' Cioni, (c. 1435 -1488) was an influential Florentine sculptor, goldsmith and painter who worked at the court of Lorenzo de Medici. His pupils included Leonardo da Vinci, Perugino, Ghirlandaio and Sandro Botticelli, but he also influenced Michelangelo. He worked in the serenely classic style of the Early-High Renaissance.

As a true Renaissance man Michelangelo worked in many mediums. He preferred sculpting, but was also a painter, architect, poet and engineer.

In one of the Greek translations of the Bible, they translated the word for halo or ray of light as horn. Because of this mistake in translation, a few depictions of Moses from this period, are depicted with horns.

In more recent translations of the bible, this mistake was corrected it now describes Moses as having rays of light.

Anyway, the "horns" in depictions of Moses are supposed to be rays of light.

During the Dark Ages, life revolved around Christianity (in Europe). It would be a considered a sin to produce art such as the art Michelangelo and his peers produced. Michelangelo's sculptures in particular showed human perfection. In Medieval Ages, this would be like a comparing yourself to God. In the Renaissance, the idea of human perfection displayed in art was accepted, and marveled at. Romanesque. Artists (and architects) such as Michelangelo, were inspired of the Classical times of the ancient Greeks and Romans. Many artists incorporated mythological themes of this time into their artwork. Italian Renaissance artists perfected the Classical technique to produce a whole new, and truly amazing kind of art.
