Michelangelo (1475-1564), arguably one of the most inspired creators in the history of art and, with Leonardo da Vinci, the most potent force in the Italian High Renaissance. As a sculptor, architect, painter, and poet, he exerted a tremendous influence on his contemporaries and on subsequent Western art in general. The high point of Michelangelo's early style is the gigantic marble David (Accademia, Florence). The frescoes of the Sistine Chapel ceiling painted, between 1508 and 1512, are some of the finest pictorial images of all time. During his long lifetime, Michelangelo was an intimate of princes and popes, from Lorenzo de' Medici to Leo X, Clement VIII, and Pius III, as well as cardinals, painters, and poets. |
