He was still young when his family moved to Florence - his mother died when he was 6, and his father had to move to their family estate. Growing up there during the Italian Renaissance was the perfect environment for young Michelangelo. At the age of thirteen he was apprenticed to Domenico Ghirlandaio, a painter and artist. ]]> 2018-12-19 20:08:37 UTC https://padlet.com/dmitrym650/mickie_the_italian/wish/316011109 dmitrym650 https://padlet.com/dmitrym650/mickie_the_italian/wish/316011207 Michelangelo's talents became apparent as he worked for Ghirlandaio. Within a year or so he was sent to the powerful Medici family to continue his training under the sculptor Bertoldo di Geovanni. Michelangelo was able to work with some of the finest artists and philosophers of the time. When he was 17, one of his teachers broke his nose because he was jealous of Michelangelo's talent.

Over the next few years Michelangelo produced many sculptures including Madonna of the Steps, Battle of the Centaurs, and Bacchus.

A year later he received a commission to make a sculpture called the Pieta. The sculpture shows Jesus after he was crucified lying on the lap of his mother Mary. Today this sculpture sits in St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican. It is the only piece of art that Michelangelo signed. ]]> 2018-12-19 20:11:36 UTC https://padlet.com/dmitrym650/mickie_the_italian/wish/316011914 dmitrym650 https://padlet.com/dmitrym650/mickie_the_italian/wish/316012144 Michelangelo's fame as a great artist began to grow. He returned to Florence and received another commission to create a large statue of David. It took him a couple of years to finish the giant statue. He worked in secrecy, not letting anyone see it until it was finished.

David became Michelangelo's most famous work of art. It is thirteen feet tall and was the largest statue made since Ancient Rome. It is considered by many experts in art to be a near perfect sculpture. Today the statue resides at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence, Italy. ]]> 2018-12-19 20:12:21 UTC https://padlet.com/dmitrym650/mickie_the_italian/wish/316012144 dmitrym650 https://padlet.com/dmitrym650/mickie_the_italian/wish/316012217 In 1505 Michelangelo returned to Rome. He was commissioned by the Pope in 1508 to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. Michelangelo considered himself to be a sculptor, but agreed to paint the Sistine Chapel for the Pope. He worked for four years, painting upside down on a scaffold in order to finish the painting. The painting was huge (141 feet long by 43 feet wide). It contained nine scenes from the Bible down its center and over 300 people. ]]> 2018-12-19 20:12:42 UTC https://padlet.com/dmitrym650/mickie_the_italian/wish/316012217 dmitrym650 https://padlet.com/dmitrym650/mickie_the_italian/wish/316012877 Many researchers and historians consider that 4 periods can be clearly distinguished in his legacy: the young ages (1490-1496), the period of creating "Pieta" (1496-1505), the period of creating the fresco of the Sistine Chapel (1505-1513), the period of creating the Tomb of Pope Julius II (1513-1516). Each of these has a lot of artworks to admire.

Not only he was a painter and a sculptor who created stunningly beautiful artworks, but he also was a poet. He wrote more than 300 poems and sonnets devoted to Vittoria Colonna, a pious and noble widow. ]]> 2018-12-19 20:16:08 UTC https://padlet.com/dmitrym650/mickie_the_italian/wish/316013250 dmitrym650 https://padlet.com/dmitrym650/mickie_the_italian/wish/316017809 The most famous of all the scenes is The Creation of Adam. At the center of the scene, God's hand and Adam's hand nearly touch. This is one of the most recreated scenes in all of art and, along with the Mona Lisa, is one of the most famous paintings in history. ]]> 2018-12-19 20:32:19 UTC https://padlet.com/dmitrym650/mickie_the_italian/wish/316017809
