Michelangelo

This scene is part of the large ceiling fresco in the Sistine Chapel. The ceiling was painted in the years 1408-1412.

Actually, there's a missing muscle, not an extra one, and it's between the spine and the shoulder blade, on the right side of the back. However, Michelangelo was aware of the flaw, but a defect in the marble block made the reproduction of that muscle impossible.

No Michelangelo was never married or had children.

Da Vinci drew the first relaxed portraits with misty landscapes in the background. He used warm and passionate colours to create the misty look on the landscapes. Da Vinci had a different way of painting with mixing colours. Da Vinci did not put eyebrows on his painting. Da Vinci changed the way people painted and made sculptures. Da Vinci was famous for the way he used light in his portraits. It seemed as if you could see into the soul of the paintings.

He has nothing to worry about because he is with Jesus in heaven

The title of Renaissance Man is almost completely true of Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni (March 6, 1475 - February 18, 1564). Michelangelo was an Italian Renaissance painter, sculptor, architect, poet and engineer. His versatility in the disciplines he took up was of such a high order that he is often considered as the embodiment of the cultural and intellectual revival which began in the thirteenth century. Another contender for the title of the archetypal Renaissance man was Michelangelo's rival, and fellow Italian, Leonardo da Vinci.

COLLEGE is a kind of school, COLLAGE is a type of artwork. Michelangelo did not go to college.

Apparently Michelangelo did not use collage, so he would not have gone anywhere.

Subtractive. He chiseled marble rocks.

Pope Julius II commanded him to come to Rome

The Italian sculptor and painter Michelangelo Buonnarroti was born March 6, 1475 and died February 18, 1564 (age 88). The year 2015 marked 540 years since his birth.

40 years after Michealangelo completed the Pieta, the German Augustine monk, Martin Luther objected to the corruption in the Roman Catholic Church, which began the Prodestant Reformation. The Reformation established rules geovening religious imagery.

"Pieta"

1. Mary appears too young. Mary was middle aged when Christ died. Michelangelo stated that chastity preserves youth. youth symbolizes her incoruptable purity.

2. Christ appears asleep instead of dead. Michealangelo states, "Christ lives forever in our hearts and minds."

3. Mary larger than Christ. Michealangelo; illistrates his feebleness in state of death.

4. Christ too youthful and relaxed. -- Christ harmoniously contained within the large pyramidal forms of his mother. To a mother, a child is alway young and the mother always protects the child.

5. Christ timeless idealized image. --

6. Mary appears to gaze incestously at Christ.

Growing up in the Renaissance era was enough for anyone to find a love for all things artistic. People like Caravaggio, da Vinci and Verocchio all walked around, or in Carvaggio's case - ran - and these people were influential, they influenced and inspired other wannabe artists. Michelangelo was more or less born into the world of sculpture, growing up near a marble quarry where he sought the company of many aspiring artists and learned to make figures with stone and chisel. From there, he learned the skills and ways of drawing and the art of portraying something or someone in all their glory. He never really painted, unless commissioned to do as as he did in fact know how. He was forced to paint, and he did it with all the complaints of an Italian genius who usually hammered his way through tons of marble. In his 20's he began The Pieta, he was 25. This sculpture, depicting Mary holding the lifeless body of her son, was to become a huge success in the art world, and so it - even now - centuries later it looks as beautiful. Everything went uphill for him there. The little boy who loved to draw, ended up being in the run for an achievement so great it rivalled the genius of Leonardo da Vinci - to become the greatest Italian artist of the time. Scratch that - the greatest artist to have ever lived. . .

It's not a painting but a sculpture, the original is housed in the Accademia Gallery in Florence, where it attracts many visitors. A replica is on display in the Piazza della Signoria, Florence, Italy.

Leo Da Vinci was never married so of course he was single. But there is too little evidence to know with certainty if he was straight or gay. He was never interested in women and lived with a famous homosexual called Gian Giacomo Caprotti Da Oreno who was also an artist.

Michelangelo had indeed created impressive sculptures and paintings, however his work on the Sistine Chapel ceiling is the most impressive; it took 4 years to complete, and all of it had fine and precise detail.

He painted the chapel in three levels with scenes from the Bible and the prophets of the Old Testament. In the center was Adam touching the hand of God. This central figure represents the Neoplatonic philosophy that man could communicate with God without an intermediary like the Church.

They both painted and sculpted amazing sculptures and paintings.

formalism

Bernini's David has started to use the slingshot. Michelangelo's David is just observing the enemy.

it is called 'Iconography"

There were no schools for art in those days. You were apprenticed to a competent artist who taught you.

Its simply the sculpting of ice, (making sculptures from ice) they use many types of tools, such as: chain saws, grinders w/ arbortec type bits, rotary files, blow torches, etc. (torches are used to melt and/or smooth rough edges).
