Michelangelo

Born in Italy, Michelangelo was a painter, sculptor, architect, and poet of the High Renaissance style, whose work had a significant influence on the art of Western civilization. He is considered among the greatest artists of all time for his paintings, sculptures, and architecture. Aside from Leonardo da Vinci, he is often thought of as the archetypal renaissance man due to the degree of his artistic versatility. By reviving the classical belief that the nude human body was a suitable medium for depicting all emotions, he made an enormous contribution to the further development of academic art - and other art forms as well. The human body appears in multiple forms in most of Michelangelo's paintings and artworks. Unlike medieval Christian art, his figures included a large amount of detail and were realistic in proportion. 

Michelangelo was known for his distinct painting style, which contrasted sharply with that of other medieval painters. As a preparatory sketch, a detailed study, or an independent work, some of Michelangelo's drawings are considered among the finest in history. Aside from producing some of the best Renaissance paintings and sculptures in the world, Michelangelo's artistic accomplishments have established him as one of the most admired figures of the Italian Renaissance. Michelangelo's famous works, including the statues Pieta and David, and the frescoes in the Sistine Chapel in Rome depicting Genesis and The Last Judgment, are among the greatest works of art in history. The fresco entitled The Creation of Adam depicts the Genesis creation story of mankind. In the Last Judgement, Christ's second coming is depicted. Even though these religious paintings might seem dark and depressing, they contain powerful imagery which would never go unnoticed.

Michelangelo considered sculpture to be the highest manifestation of visionary art. In his sculpture, Michelangelo transformed nondescript forms into ones that are expressive of beauty and pathos. It is his ability to depict a diverse range of emotions through three-dimensional marble and his unparalleled understanding of space, form, and appearance that makes him one of the most notable sculptors in history. His architectural ability rivaled that of anyone of his time. A few of his best-known designs are the Biblioteca Laurenziana, the Medici Chapel, and the Basilica of St Peter in Rome.
