A man paints with his brains and not with his hands-Michelangelo

One of many greatest

artists of all time,

Michelangelo’s name

has become

synonymous with the

word "masterpiece":

Michelangelo

Buonarroti.

Michelangelo was

caught in conflicting

powers of the Medici

family in Florence, and

the Papacy in Rome.

His genius was

recognized unlike some

artist at the time

Michelangelo structured the Medici Tombs from 1519-1534.

The sculpture was of Lorenzo de’ Medici and Giuliano.

This was a rare time that Michelangelo didn’t sculpt something from Christian religion.

Michelangelo's work as an architect only began in earnest in 1519

In the 1520s he designed the Laurentian Library, elegant entrance hall adjoining San Lorenzo

He used motifs-columns, pediments, and brackets-for a personal and expressive purpose to complete the work.

Michelangelo was

suppose to remodel the

buildings surrounding

the Campidoglio, the

political heart of the

city of Rome. The work

didn’t start until the

late 1550s and not

finished until the 17th

century, he designed

the Campidoglio

around an oval shape,

with the famous

antique bronze

equestrian statue of

the Roman emperor

Marcus Aurelius in the

center.

St. Peter's Basilica

Michelangelo developed a strong relationship with Vittoria Colonna

She was a poet who close friends almost lovers

He wrote many sonnets about her
