Michelangelo

In the Sistine Chapel, Vatican City in Rome, Italy.
The Sistine Chapel was the name of the chapel in which Michelangelo painted a picture upon the ceiling.

Because Michelangelo preferred sculpting, but Pope Julius forced him to paint.

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.

The Venus de Milo was not discovered until 1820, so Michelangelo never saw it. He was very familiar with the "Medici Venus" that was in the collection of the Medici in Florence, where Michelangelo studied sculpture as a young man.

1. Michelangelo was influenced by several notable Humanist thinkers including Urbino during his early days.

2. He went to a humanistic school where he learned the value of human beings and several neoplatonic ideas

3. Grew up in a culturally and intellectually stimulating Florentine environment

4. Was recognized and nurtured by Lorenzo De Medici (who appreciated art, music,etc)

5. His studies of anatomy further increased his awareness/ love of the human body

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.

The Creation of Adam is part of the massive ceiling of the Sistine Chapel done by Michelangelo. The Sistine Chapel in the Vatican in Rome.

Pope Julius II commissioned Michelangelo to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, after the failure of the Popes tomb project (Michelangelo had carved many statues for this tomb when the project was cancelled0. Upon the death of Pope Julius II Michelangelo returned to the service of the Medici popes, Leo X and Clement VII.

A lot of his ideas seem to have been influenced by Neo-Platonism

His frescoes were in part influenced by Masaccio and Giotto, whose work he copied when initially learning about fresco painting

His sculpture was influenced by Andrea del Verrocchio among others

Someone who lived at that time was Leonardo da Vinci, the rival of Michelangelo.

I think you are confused. The work is called The Pieta and it is Mary holding Jesus when he was taken down from the cross. It is beautiful and today is behind plexiglass in St. Peter's in Rome. When I saw it in the 1970's it was still in the original spot that Michelangelo placed it in St. Peter's. A man came along at one point and smashed it with a hammer so it was moved to safety.

God has nothing to do with genius, and it would be stupid to think that he did. Genius is scientifically explained.

Michelangelo would probably be considered a genius, but genius is personal opinion rather than something that can be 100% proven. It all has to do with what you think about his accomplishments.

I am not sure what your question means, but: Pietà is a representation of Virgin Mary holding her dead son, Christ. So it is a picture of grief. Anything else you want to know about it, ask again!

*Sistine ;)

It took 4 years. 1508-1512

Probably with a latter and maybe with some help from other painters?

Also with some medical attention.

Because of all the famous sculptures, artworks and paintings he has done.

Because he demonstrated abilities beyond most, both in his own time and even now, plus he excelled in many fields such as painting, sculpture, architecture etc.

I hope this has helped you!!

What effect does pieta' sculpture have on you

I believe he used frescoe and some other art apliances to paint the Sistine chapel ceiling

The piece of work is a fresco. He most likely began with a 'cartoon' or rough sketch of the composition. This is transferred onto the wall with charcoal usually, and then the fresco process begins. This consists of applying wet plaster onto the wall and painting the picture into the plaster. Artists were always experimenting with fresco seeking the best plaster and pigment mixture that would dry quickly, but not too quickly, not change color or run and numerous other problems. Writings by Vasarri are one source on Leonardo from a contemporary, and may have more information on the actual process da Vinci used on the work.
