Michelangelo

A renaissance man is a person who is multi talented. Them two above were multi talented. they had skilled beyond anyone at the time of the renaissance.

The are renaissance citizens but the suffix men/women is added to prove their ability of knowledge.

he made pretty pictures

They were both renaissance artists and painted around the same time (Leonardo was 23 years older than Michelangelo but they did meet). They are both believed to have been homosexual and both were fascinated by the human body (especially the nude male) they both studied human bodies in close detail and would dissect dead bodies to study them (although this was illegal and had to be done in secret). They were both very intelligent and very good artists (and in michelangelo's case sculptor too). They both painted religious scenes...eg. Leonardo's the last supper and michelangelos Sistine chapel ceiling. They would have both admired each others works, although Leonardo disliked Michelangelo as a person when they met (Leonardo considered Michelangelo to be "rude").

So they had a lot in common.

Their main differences was that Michelangelo was mainly a sculptor and Leonardo considered painting a higher profession than sculpting. In fact he once made a joke about how sculptors were always dusty and dirty which michelangelo was angry about. Also they had different personalities: Da Vinci loved to joke and was very sociable. However, Michelangelo is believe to have been a very lonely character who liked to work in solitude and had a foul temper and would often storm off. Also da Vinci loved nature and considered nature to be greater than human life and knew that we could never trully understand nature...however michelangelo saw nature as an obstacle that had to be overcome in his painting.

I hope i helped.

so how does he impact society today? for some reason, art historians and artists are rather obsessed with him as a person. he left behind quite a few poems and letters, from which we know a lot about what he was like. He's one of the first artists that we know SO much about... because just 50 or 100 years before his time, artists didn't even sign their works. in fact, he may have been one of the first to do so. .. though i can't find a source for that.

The renaissance was THE FIRST time that artists were known as individuals. before then, they were craftspeople, whose names were rarely attached to their work and rarely were they celebrated or paid well. Michelangelo had 2 biographies written about him WHILE HE WAS STILL ALIVE. in the renaissance, artists were well known and paid well to make art for the vatican or important families like the demedici. Today we still venerate the individual... we still love to read about artists, maybe not everybody reads about sculptors, but actors, actresses, and movie directors are artists too. we actually take it to great excess. Wouldn't you say in today's society that artists should "find their own unique voice"? this was hardly valued at all just a generation before michelangelo.

the other way he impacts society, i think, is in being skilled at many things. he was an architect, a painter, a sculptor, a poet. he wrote sonnets before shakespeare did. generations of people have looked to people like michelangelo and davinci, and this is where the term "renaissance man" comes from... someone who is well-rounded and talented at many things.

Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni

Leonardo da Vinci worked in a variety of media. His numerous sketch books are one media, he used oil paints and fresco and sculpted marble.

Michelangelo Buonarrotti (1475-1564) was a sculptor and painter, and designed architectural facades.

Michelangelo is best known for his creation of the paintings that adorn the ceiling and altar walls of the Sistine Chapel - the ceiling being a scene from Genesis and the Altar walls mural representing The Last Judgment. He also sculpted several famous statues including "David" and "The Pietà" (the latter currently located in Vatican City).

They were both Renaissance geniuses, towering above the rest. They are both Renaissance artists from the Florence area. Leonardo painter, inventor and scientist. Michelangelo sculptor, painter, architect, poet.

Sistine Chapel

He didn't really 'leave' Rome as much as he 'fled' Rome. He killed a man.

The sculpture was created between 1501 and 1504.

Michelangelo Buonarroti, who became known by his first name alone, was probably the greatest artist of the European Renaissance. The Medici were the greatest and richest family of his native Florence and patrons of self-indulgent art. Their histories are intertwined, but there was tremendous tension between them until Michelangelo left his home and the Medici for the last three decades of his life.

Michelango was invited at age 14 by Lorenzo de Medici to attend his private art school.Three years later, Lorenzo died and Michelangelo lost the financial backing and social favor of the Medici family. Two years later he was invited back to court on a commission from Pierro de Medici. But that same year the Medicis were ousted as rulers of Florence under French pressure. Michelangelo fled, but returned within a year after Florence stabilized. But the only commissions offered him came from the Medici family. One work was sold to a Vatican official, who was so impressed he invited Michelangelo, now 21, to Rome.

He moved between Rome and Florence until newly elected Pope Julius II gave Michelangelo his first papal commission in 1505. That led to a job in 1508 to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, which he completed in 1512. But Julius died in 1513, and was succeeded by Leo X of the Medici family. The two clashed as Michelangelo was commissioned to build a new facade for the basilica of San Lorenzo in Florence, then was frustrated at every turn of the still-unfinished project before the cash-strapped family cancelled it after three years. Amazingly, the family soon thereafter rehired Michelangelo to build a family funerary chapel in San Lorenzo. This was completed, but only by Michelangelo's assistants after his final break with the family.

A public uprising in 1527 ousted the ducal Medicis, and a republic was reinstalled. When the Medici returned to besiege the city, Michelangelo stopped work on their chapel and began work strengthening the city's defenses against them. But the city fell and the Medici were reinstated in 1530. Michelangelo was completely out of favor with and for the Medici, and left Florence for good until his body was exhumed in Rome and he was re-interred -- according to his wishes -- in his native city.

The final design for the dome came from Michelangelo and Giacomo della Porta. For more information on the history and construction of Saint Peter's, click on this link.

The name of the chapel where Michelangelo made his mast famous painting is the Sistine Chapel.
