Michelangelo Essay
Michelangelo
Michelangelo Buonarrotti, although considered by many a Florentine, was actually born in
Caprese, Italy in 1475. Michelangelo was an inspired artist of the Renaissance period. He and
Leonardo DaVinci were considered to be the two greatest figures of this highly artistic movement.
Michelangelo was a highly versatile artist and was involved in sculpting, architecture, painting, and
even poetry. .At the age of 13, he was apprenticed to Domenico Ghirlandaio, who at the time was
painting a chapel in the church of Santa Maria Novella in Florence. Here, the young Michelangelo
learned the technique of fresco (painting on fresh plaster before it dries); He would use this

During this same time period, Michelangelo produced several Madonnas; including the painting the
Holy Family (also known as the Doni Madonna), a statue of the Madonna and Child (called the
Bruges Madonna) which was purchased by a Flemish merchant and is now in Bruges, and two
marble reliefs, the Taddei tondo and the Pitti tondo.
Michelangelo was called to Rome by Pope Julius II to create a tomb for him which was to contain
forty lifesize figures, an endeavor that was never fully realized. In 1508, Michelangelo began work
on the Sistine Chapel ceiling frescoes, a task that would occupy him until 1512. Upon completing
the Sistine Chapel, Michelangelo returned to the work on Julius' tomb, completing the figure of
Moses and leaving unfinished two Slaves. Following Julius' death in 1513, he worked for Pope Leo
X, Lorenzo de' Medici's son. At the Medici family's parish church in Florence, San Lorenzo,
Michelangelo created tombs for Giuliano and Lorenzo de' Medici (II) and designed the Laurentian
library, an annex to San Lorenzo.
In 1534, Michelangelo left Florence for Rome, where he was to spend the remainder of his life.
He returned to the Sistine Chapel where he created the Last Judgment, another fresco, on the end
wall. He designed the dome for St. Peter's and the Capitoline Square. He also worked on the
Palazzo Farnese. His last paintings were the frescoes of the Conversion of St. Paul and the
