How much money did a artist get paid in the renaissance?
Artists worked strictly on commission back then (unless they were hired to do the entire interior of a palace, for instance), and the better the artist, the more prestigious (and lucrative) the commissions he or she received. The much in demand artists made a good living - most did not.
Who were michelangelo's enemies?
Leonardo da vinci
as well as raphael santi and donato bramante. He also did not like Pope Julius the 2nd. Painting a ceiling was below him, according to Michelangelo. Usually they would just be blue with tiny stars, but he had better plans for the Sistine Chapel.
Which artist works on both painting and sculpture?
Alexander Calder
My answer to that question, is there have been hundreds if not thousands, maybe more. Most artists have tried several mediums , some have worked there whole careers in both but usually one to a lesser degree, like Pablo Picasso is most well known for his paintings, but his sculpture was also quite innovative. Michelangelo was well known for both (The Sistine Ceiling being his mos famous painting and his statue of David his most famous sculpture). Henry Moore was more famous for his sculpture but also painted and did pastels. David Smith, one of America's greates(if not the best) abstract sculptors, also painted , by spraying over cutout shapes , so they looked like his sculptures in shadow. He also painted his sculptures.Helen Frankenthaler , America's foremost woman painter, has made some wonderful though little known sculptures. And Frank Stella first known as a painter has combined his painting with wall reliefs making them sculptural paintings(both together). Jules Olitski also combined painting and sculpture, in a series of painted plastic and aluminum pieces. In the USA most young artists are taught many kinds of art, painting and drawing are usually first(children begin "finger painting", like I was before I could even talk. It is a way for kids to learn about color very early in life, and is a form of entertainment. Also the same is true for sculpture, as most parents give their kids something called "Play -Doh" which is colored dough in little plastic containers. A child who is gifted will stand out in the early years at school, often encouraged to go on. Likewise most children here are given crayons before they can talk(they are wax like drawing sticks that come in packs of five basic colors up to 104 !!). From there kids are taught many arts, many different crafts, including formal sculpture and painting usually up until 8th grade, and they have a basic appreciation and knowledge of art. From there, in High School, some will continue in the arts while others, may go towards science, math , English or history or some other interest. In most cases an artist will go to a Fine Arts or Graphic Arts College. The Fine Artists are usually required to learn painting and scuplture techniques and history in depth. After College they may go straight to being a professional artist, or then continue to get their Masters Degree and some will go on to get a PHD, or Doctorate (the highest degree) , but it is not necessary to become a professional artist and is only by choice.And often artists have no formal training other than up to 8th grade(not considered formal training). Economic changes here , unfortunately have forced schools to cut back, so most kids may only have Art classes once a week, which is a shame as it has been proven kids that get art classes are far better in school, than ones who don't.

What was the purpose of the statue of David?
Michelangelo made this sculpture for a purpose, he wanted a sex toy. since after 1504 during the medieval times, he would try having sex with his statue which was 6 tonnes! he was often caught by king lance-a-lot(the king during their time after king arthur was killed in a cyborg generating experiment). King lance-a-lot sentences michelangelo to death by hanging him. michelangelo broke the 3rd law, no statue sex. 2nd law was no cyborg or robot sex, 1st law was no insulting the king's technology (since medieval times had poor technology that could be spat on). the stature was angry since michelangelo was dead and they couldn't have gay statue sex (it is still unknown what the statue erected from its doodle in 1504). the statue came alive and sat on the king lance-a-lot's butt and he was squashed like a fish in an avalanche. then the statue froze in a retarted posture.
So the purpose of the David sculputure was for Michelangelo to have sex with a male statue.

Did Michelangelo create a type of art?
Michelangelo (1475-1564) was a sculptor, painter, and architect. He is responsible for creating famous marble sculptures such as the Pieta (1498 - 1499) and David (1501 - 1504). In the life-size marble statue Pieta, Michelangelo shows Mary, the mother of Jesus, mourning her dead son, who lays limp across her lap. The sculpture is now in Saint Peter's Basilica in the Vatican. Michelangelo's most famous sculpture is perhaps his massive statue of David. The artist shows David readying to fight the Philistine giant Goliath in order to rescue the Israelites from potential enslavement. The statue was originally designed to be placed along the roofline of Florence's cathedral, the Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore, but its weight made this impossible. A committee decided to place it next to the entrance of the Palazzo Vecchio, where it remained until the nineteenth century. It is now in the Accademia in Florence.
As a painter, Michelangelo is famous for painting the ceiling and altar wall of the Sistine Chapel. Pope Julius II commissioned Michelangelo to paint the ceiling of the chapel in 1508, and after four years, the project was complete. The ceiling is comprised of 300 figures and several illustrations of biblical stories. Michelangelo was commissioned by Pope Clement VII to paint the altar wall of the chapel, but the pope died before he could see the project through. His successor, Pope Paul III, changed the subject matter to the Last Judgment. Michelangelo began work on the Last Judgment in 1537 and finished it in 1541. The final fresco shows the damnation of the wicked and the salvation of the blessed upon Jesus' return to judge the earth.
Finally, Michelangelo is known for being one of the architects of Saint Peter's Basilica and designing the church's iconic dome.
How did Michelangelo contribute to the renaissance?
Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel, for one had colors never before seen. They inspired many artists that came after him, such as Titian and the great Tintoretto, both Italian, and even the greatest artist of the seventeenth century, Rubens. In addition, his sculpture was so incredibly lifelike that no one before him could compare. He set the bar for future sculptures. In the Renaissance, he was unequaled in both genres and is, by today's standards, considered one of the finest artists of all time, whose influence extended far beyond the Italian border.

Yes he most definitely was.
A:
Yes, that is the general opinion, but he has written love poems to men and women.
No one knows that, just like with every gay person.
However, if you want to know what evidence there was for his homosexuality, he wrote a love poem about a man referring to Michelangelo "joying him in bed".
It is not known. There are speculations that perhaps he might have been gay but, there is no proof and without proof, it's just a theory.
It is probable that he was.
It is not known.
