My epic padlet by Maximus Garcia https://padlet.com/mgarcia231/mszcgqnjootlf2i0 Made with serendipity en-us 2022-02-15 04:18:16 UTC 2025-11-15 01:32:22 UTC hello@padlet.com Although there is an argument for both sides in my opinion I believe that he sides with the title painter more than he does sculptor. The reason as to why is as follows. When discussing Michelangelo the first thing that comes to mind is the fact that he was the person who painted the Sistine Chapel. This alone shows that many already off the bat view him as a painter rather than a sculptor. However, to further prove my point we can take a deeper look at each respective title. Regarding paintings we see that many of Michelangelo's works give this sense of unachievable that he is only capable of producing a work like this. However, looking into his sculpting many of his sculptures seem to look similar to the work of other sculptures. Ultimately, the reason as to why I side with him being a painter is that he first is recognized more as a painter by the general population and secondly I believe that he is a better painter as his work seems to be more unique. mgarcia231 https://padlet.com/mgarcia231/mszcgqnjootlf2i0/wish/2047767067 2022-02-15 04:38:29 UTC https://padlet.com/mgarcia231/mszcgqnjootlf2i0/wish/2047767067 mgarcia231 https://padlet.com/mgarcia231/mszcgqnjootlf2i0/wish/2047775447 The Creation of Adam can be found within the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. In this scene we can see God touching fingertips with his new creation Adam. Along with this we can also see how God is surrounded by many mysterious figures. There are no real answers as to who these people pertain to but some theories suggest that they are unborn souls waiting to be created. Furthermore we can see how this is one of the centralized scenes within the ceiling suggesting that it was of high importance to Michelangelo. To conclude, the work itself is a very unique work as a minute amount of people have created a work similar to this. ]]> 2022-02-15 04:45:15 UTC https://padlet.com/mgarcia231/mszcgqnjootlf2i0/wish/2047775447 mgarcia231 https://padlet.com/mgarcia231/mszcgqnjootlf2i0/wish/2047778074 The Last Judgement is a representation of the second coming of Christ. Throughout the entirety of the scene we can see a multitude of religious figures drawn throughout the scene such as Mary, Christ, apostles, and more. What makes this work special was that Michelangelo created this piece around 30 years later to that of his other pieces in the Sistine Chapel. It was painted on the wall behind the altar and was commissioned by the new pope Paul the third. The true standout is that this was created when the idea of mannerism was popular thus it was created in a manneristic type of way. Ultimately, demonstrating his versatility in painting while maintaining his creativity and execution. ]]> 2022-02-15 04:47:35 UTC https://padlet.com/mgarcia231/mszcgqnjootlf2i0/wish/2047778074 mgarcia231 https://padlet.com/mgarcia231/mszcgqnjootlf2i0/wish/2047791032 Similar to the Last Judgement this artwork was also created around 30 years following his creations in the Sistine Chapel. In this scene Michelangelo depicts the event where Paul undergoes his conversion and becomes Saul. We can see that in this scene many of the bodies are disformed or elongated appealing to the time as mannerism was high in the air for discussion. We can also see that this painting was somewhat of a seal to his greatness as a painter. Meaning that it sealed him as an innovator as he did not stick to one particular method. He would always branch out and try new things. Thus furthering my point on how he continues to appeal to the term painter. ]]> 2022-02-15 04:57:39 UTC https://padlet.com/mgarcia231/mszcgqnjootlf2i0/wish/2047791032 mgarcia231 https://padlet.com/mgarcia231/mszcgqnjootlf2i0/wish/2047808809 Regarding the Ceiling of the Sistine Chapel we can see how it is a collection of many scenes from the old testament starting with Genesis and proceeds with events that follow. Most of the artwork done here was done throughout the early 1500s and was commissioned by Julius the second. As seen in most of the works there are elements of classical architecture scattered throughout. However, they are actually painted rather than real structures demonstrating the talent Michelangelo had as a painter. Along with these structures we can also see the attention to detail Michelangelo provides for each respective painting. Each figure is granted the courtesy of being painted to complete detail. Furthering the reason as to why I lean to the idea that he appeals to the painter. ]]> 2022-02-15 05:12:25 UTC https://padlet.com/mgarcia231/mszcgqnjootlf2i0/wish/2047808809 Henry Castellat Comment hcastellat23 https://padlet.com/mgarcia231/mszcgqnjootlf2i0/wish/2048953064 First of all I want to congratulate you on your well written and well thought out response to the question of whether Michelangelo was a painter or sculptor. Although we have contradicting ideas I still do believe that you opinion has valor. I believe Michelangelo not only had great sculptures but as well as magnificent paintings. The most important and significant to me is the one in the Sistine Chapel seeing how it is the most well known and famous.]]> 2022-02-15 16:16:31 UTC https://padlet.com/mgarcia231/mszcgqnjootlf2i0/wish/2048953064 Rolando Sucena comment rsucena23 https://padlet.com/mgarcia231/mszcgqnjootlf2i0/wish/2049222070 Cesar, i found your padlet very interesting since you took a position many others did not. While i disagree with you i do agree that his works in painting are extremely admirable and magnificent. While you are correct in saying that his Sistine chapel paintings are the most well known he did not like painting and personally considered himself a sculptor.]]> 2022-02-15 18:11:29 UTC https://padlet.com/mgarcia231/mszcgqnjootlf2i0/wish/2049222070 Adrian Hernandez comment aehernandez23 https://padlet.com/mgarcia231/mszcgqnjootlf2i0/wish/2051392718 Max, great job. You had a great understanding of the context of each artwork and thoroughly analyzed them visually. You seem to have a great understanding of the different art historical time periods, especially the Mannerist. Although I disagree with your view of Michelangelo as a painter, I still acknowledge that his paintings were extraordinary, looking at the entire Sistine Chapel ceiling, with all of its splendor. Overall great job on the Padlet.]]> 2022-02-16 17:14:43 UTC https://padlet.com/mgarcia231/mszcgqnjootlf2i0/wish/2051392718
