Why did michelangelo's father object to his son becoming an artist?
He liked sculpture better than drawings and paintings. However, he was fortunate enough to study under great teachers. Ghirlandio, I think ,was his name. Also, He studied people in the morgue which was prohibited. In return for this privilege he sculpted a resurrection scene and gave it to them..
On a deeper level, he became what he was inside. In other words, he was a sculptor and artist inside. The Popes made him do paintings, drawings, plans, and the Sistine Chapel which was difficult physically and took seven years I think.
