Michaelangelo
This is an excerpt from the paper...
If the world’s greatest artists had to be ranked as with modern college football polls, it is arguable that Michelangelo Buonarotti would be in competition for the top spot. Writer, sculptor, painter and architect, this Italian artist created some of the world’s most well-known and heralded arts-works, from the sculptor of David to the painting of the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. If Michelangelo was a true “renaissance” man, it is in part, no doubt, to the various artistic influences and teachings of his time. He studied painting under the Florentine (his birthplace) painter, Ghirlandaio. At the Medici academy, he would study sculptor under Bertoldo. He competed with Leonardo Da Vinci in the world of painting and he was commissioned by Pope Julius II, to erect his tomb and to paint the Sistine Chapel. In the Florence of his time, where his study of anatomy would later make his sculptures masterpieces of the human form, he was influenced by Dante, Giotto and Savonarola. His ideology was influenced by the Neoplatonic philosophy. He attempted to achieve in his own life a Platonic image of beauty of the human form and all material things as a mirror of the inner soul combined with Christian ideas of sin. He was a successful poet, having written hundreds of sonnets, most to Vittoria Colonna and a young boy, Tommaso Cavalieri, for whom he had a profound affection.
