By sixteenth-century standards Michelangelo lived to the exceptionally old age of almost eighty-nine, and he continued to work until only a few days before his death. From a working career that spanned more than seventy years, he left an enormous legacy in sculpture, painting, drawing, and architecture. Sponsor Message. Furthermore, apart from occasional visits to north Italian cities such as Bologna and Venice, in all those years Michelangelo never left Florence, where he was born, or Rome, where he died. Apprenticeship At the customary age of thirteen, in 1488 Michelangelo became an apprentice of the distinguished painter Domenico Ghirlandaio, who was then at work on the choir frescoes for Santa Maria Novella in Florence, where Michelangelo likely learned to manage the demanding craft of fresco painting.

Closed on Tuesday and on the following holidays: January the 1st, Easter Sunday, May the 1st, August the 15th, December the 25th. E-MAIL CREDITS V asari tells us that, prior to his death in Rome in 1564, Michelangelo had burned "a large number of his own drawings, sketches and cartoons so that no one should see the labors he endured and the ways he tested his genius, and lest he should appear less than perfect." It is partly because of the artist's desire for perfection that his graphic work is so rare and valuable: even Leonardo, his nephew and heir, was obliged to pay a high price for a group of his drawings that came onto the Roman market after Michelangelo's death. These were probably the ones that Leonardo would donate to Cosimo I dei Medici around 1566, together with the Madonna della scala. When, in the second decade of the seventeenth century, Michelangelo Buonarroti the Younger decided to devote a series of rooms in the family house on Via Ghibellina to the memory of his great ancestor, the Madonna della scala and part of the drawings given to the Medici were returned by Cosimo II.

MICHELANGIOLO L'UOMO - IL SOMMO ARTISTA Tratto dall'omonimo libro di Mons. IVANO RICCI MICHELANGIOLO, AUTORITRATTO - Galleria degli Uffizi - Firenze L'Uomo Michelangiolo nacque il 6 marzo 1475 da Lodovico Buonarroti e da Francesca di Miniato del Sere a Caprese. In quei tempi lontani, il territorio capresano doveva avere certo una linea più accentuatamente rupestre, quantunque dentro le antiche mura del castello, di cui oggi rimangono soltanto ruderi massicci, contenesse la casa, che era la residenza del potestà. Pittoresco sempre resta il paesaggio, dove, verso settentrione, spicca il Crudo Sasso di S. Francesco, e in basso il fiume Sinigerna, affluente del Tevere, serpeggia lento tra i monti e le valli. Il padre di Michelangiolo, essendo potestà di Chiusi e Caprese, dimorava sei mesi in una sede e sei nell’altra. Da un documento, però, si rileva che il figlio nacque, quando Lodovico si trovava a Caprese. Ciò chiaramente risulta da una copia dell’atto di nascita, scoperto da Alessandro Gherardi, tra le carte dell’Archivio Buonarroti.

49. Michelangelo -- A Biography Biography of michelangelo buonarroti, from the book michelangelo The Complete Sculpture, Painting, Architecture. http://www.hlla.com/reference/mb-bio.html

Michelangelo: Artist and Aristocrat A Biography Excerpted from the book Michelangelo: The Complete Sculpture, Painting, Architecture (see also Chronology of Michelangelo) Michelangelo was the greatest sculptor of the sixteenth century, as Donatello was in the century before him and Bernini in the century after him. We admire the products of his genius but we less frequently pause to consider the magnitude of the tasks he undertook, the problems he encountered, and the setbackseven failureshe may have suffered. The and the David for example, are stunning accomplishments that obscure the more mundane facts of their creation. We tend to overlook that they were fashioned from raw and resistent stone, by hands that were strong and dexterous but also were occasionally tired or bruised. Before these sculptures became the sublime marvels we admire today, they were inert and spiritless material. Carving marble is extremely difficult. Forget the frequently invoked image of the artist "peeling away" layers of the stone, or "liberating" a figure from the block. Michelangelo's contemporary and biographer, Giorgio Vasari , vividly but inaccurately described marble carving as a gradual issuing forth from the block, like a figure that is raised little by little from a tub of water. Michelangelo's rival

Odrastao je u Firenci, gdje je veliki uticaj za njegovo potvrđivanje kao umjetnika imao atelje braće Ghirlandaio. Michelangelo je, pored Leonarda da Vincija , jedan od najinspirativnijih umjetnika talijanske kasne renesanse , kao i svijeta umjetnosti općenito, s uzorom u svom prethodniku Donatellu Michelangelo je bio sin osiromašenog firentinskog plemića. Pošto je završio šegrtovanje u ateljeu slikara Girlandama, stupio je u školu Lorenca de Medicija kojom je rukovodio Bertoldo, gdje je stvarao djela kojima se pokušao nadmetati s antičkim ostvarenjima. Njega opisuju kao genija božanskog nadahnuća, nadljudske moći, koja je podarena samo malom broju rijetkih pojedinaca i koja djeluje preko njihove osobe.

Olga's Gallery Michelangelo Biography Page One Michelangelo is certainly the most representative artist of the XVI century: a sculptor, painter, architect, and poet. He lived to a great age, and enjoyed great fame in his lifetime. Titian , and Venetian painting generally, was very much influenced by his vision, and he is responsible in large measure for the development of Mannerism Michelangelo di Ludovico di Lionardo di Buonarroti Simoni was born in 1475; at Caprese, in Casentino. His family Buonarroti Simoni, are mentioned in the Florentine chronicles as early as the XII century. In 1488, at the age of 13, he entered the workshop of Domenico Ghirlandaio . Thus he came under the influence of Masaccio , because his teacher, Ghirlandaio, not only looked to Masaccio for ideas on religious scenes, but actually imitated certain elements of his designs. After less than a year he moved to the academy set up by Lorenzo the Magnificent. From 1489 till 1492, he lived in the Palazzo Medici in Via Larga, where he could study “antique and good statues” and could meet the sophisticated humanists and writers of the Medici circle.

He is famous for creating the fresco ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, as well as the Last Judgment over the altar, and "The Martyrdom of St. Peter" and "The Conversion of St. Paul" in the Vatican's Cappella Paolina. Biography Among his many sculptures are those of David and the Pieta, as well as the Virgin, Bacchus, Moses, Rachel, Leah, and members of the Medici family; he also designed the dome of St. Peter's Basilica. Life history Michelangelo was born near Arezzo, in Caprese, Tuscany, Italy in 1475. His father, Lodovico, was the resident magistrate in Caprese. As genealogies of the day indicated that the Buonarroti descended from Countess Matilda of Tuscany, the family was considered minor nobility. However, Michelangelo was raised in Florence and later lived with a sculptor and his wife in the town of Settignano where his father owned a marble quarry and a small farm. Michelangelo once said to the biographer of artists Giorgio Vasari, "What good I have comes from the pure air of your native Arezzo, and also because I sucked in chisels and hammers with my nurse's milk." Against his father's wishes, Michelangelo chose to be the apprentice of Domenico Ghirlandaio for three years starting in 1488. Impressed, Domenico recommended him to the ruler of Florence, Lorenzo de' Medici. From 1490 to 1492, Michelangelo attended Lorenzo's school and was influenced by many prominent people who modified and expanded his ideas on art and even his feelings about sexuality. It was during this period that Michelangelo created two reliefs : Battle of the Centaurs and Madonna of the Steps.
