Michelangelo

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).

longer than it took me to drw a smiley face on a page in my text book

She was Important for her poetry

It is mainly false. Michelangelo's art is High Renaissance, but you can also feel the Baroque approaching.

David is a character of the Old Testament who defeated a much bigger enemy. Florence liked to equate themselves with him.

In my country (Bulgaria), there's an old book called 'The diary of Michelangelo - the mad' by Ronaldo Kristofanelli (I believe the original is in spanish), but I can't find anything similar in english. I don't know if it's his original diary or made by the autor bassed on Michelangelos letters.

It is believed that his oldest painting was one of the front angel and the landscape in the painting known as The Baptism of Christ. This was a work ordered by the cloister S. Salvi and finished around 1475 (or1476) in collaboration with his mentor Andrea di Verrochio.

Donatello dad was Niccolo di Betto Bardi. His mom is unknown.

As a matter of fact Michelangelo did not really fancy himself as a painter. Hhe was a sculptor, that was what he wanted to do. He did paint the Old Testament scenes in the Sistine Chapel because the Pope ordered him to. He also painted a couple of smaller biblical scenes, oil on canvas. Not much more.

In the Old Testament David was a young boy who had to meet the gigantic Philistine warrior, Goliath. There are several versions, made by famous sculptors. Michelangelo shows David focusing on the enemy.

Of course he did, but he is said to have been difficult to get along with.

The Medici were a banking family from Florence, Italy. They gave loans in turn for more money (interest). And they were very smart with their monmey....paying for artist such as Michaelangelo and Leonardo Da Vinci. A very helpful link on the Medici: go to google and look up The Medici Family on PBS and is shpuld come up.=Hope this helps!=

He used various chisels to shape the figure.

Yes, he seems to have been a good Catholic.

And, Michelangelo was an old man when he painted the Sistine Chapel (inside the Vatican). He did so out of love and honor for God and for his Catholic Faith.

Michelangelo was his first name: Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni He is one of a few famous artists, for whom we only use their first name, Raphael, Rembrandt are other examples.

The circumstances of her death have not been recorded.

it was his sculpture of david

Michelangelo's David, sculpted from 1501 to 1504, is a masterpiece of Renaissance sculpture and one of Michelangelo's two greatest works of sculpture, along with the Pietà. It is the statue of the young Israelite king David alone that almost certainly is one of the most recognizable stone sculptures in the history of art. It has become regarded as a symbol both of strength and youthful human beauty. The 5.17 meter (17 ft)[1] marble statue portrays the Biblical King David in the nude, at the moment that he decides to battle with Goliath. It came to symbolize the defense of civic liberties embodied in the Florentine Republic, an independent city state threatened on all sides by more powerful rival states and by the hegemony of the Medici themselves. This interpretation was also encouraged by the original setting of the sculpture outside the Palazzo della Signoria, the seat of civic government in Florence. The completed sculpture was unveiled on 8 September 1504.

Most probably The David by Micheal Angelo [I dont know how to spell his name]
