Michaelangelo


This website is about Michaelangelo's life. He borned on March 6, 1475 and died in 1564. When he's thirteen years old, he became an apprentice of the painter, Domenico Ghirlandaio. However, he discovered that he love to sculp than painting. He studied sculpture with Bertoldo Di Giovanni in the Medici's school. He finished the "Pieta" in 1498, and then he began to sculp the "David". He made the David as a ideal man. From 1508 to 1512, Michaelangelo worked on Sistine Chapelin for the pope. He did the greatest fresco in the world.

This is Michaelangelo's "Doni Madonna", painted in about 1507.

It includes some techniques that Michaelangelo often used before. In my opinion, his paintings were more 3D than other ones. He used perspective well, and he didn't copy the traditional style. He more used his heart to feel about what's this painting should be. Therefore, the figures have soul in it and the stories does this art's inclusion. The emotion, you can clearly feel it.
