This article will argue that Michelangelo was a true Renaissance artist by sharing information about his life, artwork and analysis.Michelangelo was born in Rome on 6 March 1475. He was an Italian sculptor, painter, architect, poet and engineer of the High Renaissance. He was considered the greatest artist of his time. When he was introduced to the art, he basically worked with marble his entire life and worked in other arts in specific periods of time. His two best-known works are the Pietà and the David. (Gilbert,1)When Michelangelo learned the arts, he was an apprentice to Lorenzo the Magnificent. Michelangelo admired his master's work and managed to copy it and was noticed by Ghirlandajo, who recommended him to the Medici palace. While at the Medici, he stayed with Lorenzo's children in an elegant area of ​​Florence, Italy. At this time, he was introduced to the poet Politian. When Lorenzo died, Michelangelo stayed at home and studied anatomy. Shortly afterwards he sculpted a marble Hercules, which was taken to Fontainebleau and has since disappeared. (Michelangelo Buonarroti,2)During the artists' sculpting, he managed to create a sculpture called "Virgin and Child", also known as "Madonna and Child". It took 3 years to create this sculpture, begun between 1501 and 1504. The child's head and arms rest on a book, held by the Madonna. The sculpture is supposed to represent pain and sadness, as the Madonna's eyes are closed. The sculpture is apparently located in both London and Florence. (Family, childhood and artistic germination) In 1495, a sculpture called "Saint John in the Desert" was executed by Angelo. He managed to sculpt another work of art, which was the "Savior". While Angelo... middle of paper... began from 1542 to 1550. Nearing his death, he wanted the Pietà to be on his tomb, to show himself as Nicodemus (a Pharisee, who is a member of a Jewish sect.) He succeeded to begin work on another piety at the age of 89. In 1546 Michelangelo was appointed Chief Architect and helped complete the church of San Pietro. (The Life and Times of Michelangelo,4)Unfortunately, an era ended on February 18th. Michelangelo died due to two illnesses and survived Julius II. He was said to be homosexual due to the vast majority of male nudity and he met a boy who he really fell in love with, Tommaso Cavalieri, also an artist. He died in Rome and was buried in Florence. His work managed to become more popular when he died. He and his artwork are both admired, even today. (Michelangelo, The Complete Works,3)
