"Meanwhile, the benign ruler of heaven graciously looked down to earth, saw the worthlessness of what was being done...so he decided to send into the world an artist who would be skilled in each and every craft, whose work alone would teach us how to attain perfection in design (by correct drawing and by the use of contour and light and shadows, so as to obtain relief in painting) and how to use right judgement in sculpture and, in architecture, create buildings which would be comfortable and secure, healthy, pleasant to look at, well-proportioned and richly ornamented. Moreover, he determined to give this artist the knowledge of true moral philosophy and the gift of poetic expression, so that everyone might admire and follow him as their perfect exemplar in life, work, and behaviour and in every endeavour, and he would be admired as divine."

Artists Michelangelo Buonarroti Born 1475, Died 1564
Painter, Draftsman, Sculptor, Architect
Italian
[T]he benign ruler of heaven graciously looked down to earth, saw the worthlessness of what was being done, . . . [and] decided to send into the world an artist [Michelangelo Buonarroti] ... whose work alone would teach us how to attain perfection. Thus biographer Giorgio Vasari described Michelangelo-sculptor, painter, draftsman, architect, and poet, and Italy's most famous artist. More than anyone, Michelangelo elevated the status of the artist above the level of craftsman. His deeply felt religious convictions were manifested in his art. For him, the body was the soul's prison. By using movement, monumental forms, and gesture to express spiritual urges, he opened up new artistic vistas in the direction of Mannerism and the Baroque. Overcoming parental opposition, Michelangelo apprenticed with Florence's best fresco painter, Domenico Ghirlandaio, while greatly admiring the work of Donatello. He studied classical literature at the court of Lorenzo the Magnificent, fostering his Neoplatonist philosophy among the humanists there. After his reputation-making Roman Pietà of 1499, he triumphed with his statue of David in Florence, the first nude carved on a colossal scale since antiquity. From 1508 to 1512, he painted the Vatican's Sistine Chapel ceiling single-handedly. It was an immediate triumph, and the artist was recognized as a revolutionary genius. His Sistine Chapel

Centre National de la Danse continued Artistic Finishing Touches Several artists participated in the renovation project. Hervé Audibert was commissioned to develop the electric lighting concept. He installed several horizontal rows of colored lights that are hidden behind concrete elements. These lights turn on when everyone has left the building, and they have become a sign of the absence of people and the presence of the building itself. The artist Michelangelo Pistoletto created the furniture for the different areas of the building. Graphic designer Pierre di Sciullo developed the corporate identity of the National Dance Center, including signage and color scheme. The involvement of different artists in the project makes the interior lively and gives it a feeling of completeness. After 25 years as an office building, the creation of Jacques Kalisz has now undergone a successful renovation and transformation to its next life. The project offers an important lesson. If a building does not perform as expected, perhaps we should see it as a failure of the function, not of the building itself. There could well be a second opportunity to save it from demolition by giving it a new purpose. Christian Horn lives and works in Paris. His

Michelangelo

The Ceiling of the Sistine Chapel

Michelangelo Buonarroti, almost certainly the most famous artist produced by Western civilization and arguably the greatest, is universally viewed as the supreme Renaissance artist. He created monumental works of painting, sculpture, and architecture and left an additional legacy of numerous letters and poems. Through this vast and multifaceted body of artistic achievement, Michelangelo made an indelible imprint on the Western imagination.
A member of an old and distinguished Florentine family, Michelangelo was born near Arezzo, Italy, on Mar. 6, 1475, and he died on Feb. 18, 1564, in Romea record of longevity that was as unusual as his precocity as an artist. Like his compatriot Donatello , Michelangelo to the end of his life saw himself primarily as a sculptor, once avowing that he drank in with his wet-nurse's milk the love of the stonecutter's tools. Always a Florentine patriot, even after he had expanded his art into a universal language, he exemplified the character of his native city: a passionate, proud, and independent man, he saw art as a sacred calling through which the dignity of human beings should be enhanced and celebrated. His lifelong fascination with the sublime form of the human body arose from this thoroughly Florentine sensitivity to the inherent worth and nobility of individuals.

    Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564)
    One of the greatest artists of all time, Michelangelo Buonarroti was born in Caprese, Italy in 1475. His father was governor of the village where he was born. Michelangelo's mother died when he was very little, so his father sent him to live in the home of a stonecutter. Michelangelo lived with the stonecutters until he was ten years old. Then his father sent for him so he could live at home with his four brothers and study the academic subjects which gentlemen were expected to know. Michelangelo disliked his school work, especially Latin. He wanted to be a great artist. His father disapproved and told him that becoming an artist was not something gentlemen should do. But his father could not stop Michelangelo from drawing and in 1488, when Michelangelo was 13 years old, he was sent to begin his apprenticeship in the studio of a well-known artist named Ghirlanaio. After just one year of apprenticeship, Michelangelo was invited by Lorenzo de Medici, ruler of Florence, to study and work in the school of sculpture, which had been founded in the palace gardens. It was in the palace that Michelangelo met and studied with many famous artists of the time. Lorenzo di Medici died when Michelangelo was 17 and from that day on Michelangelo worked independently for many of the rulers and religious rulers of Rome, Florence and Bologna. It was his sculpture of the Madonna and Jesus, called "Pieta", which Michelangelo created when he was 24 years old, that first made him famous.

    • Born: 6 March 1475 Birthplace: Caprese, Italy Died: 18 February 1564 Best Known As: Master sculptor of The David
    Name at birth: Michelangelo Buonarroti Perhaps the greatest influence on western art in the last five centuries, Michelangelo was an Italian sculptor, architect, painter and poet in the period known as the High Renaissance. His great works were almost entirely in the service of the Catholic Church, and include a huge statue of the Biblical hero David (over 14 feet tall) in Florence, sculpted between 1501 and 1504, and the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in Rome (commissioned by Pope Julius II ), painted between 1508 and 1512. After 1519 Michelangelo was increasingly active in architecture; he designed the dome St. Peter's Basilica, completed after his death. Along with contemporaries Leonardo da Vinci and Raphael , he is considered one of the greatest masters in the history of European art.

    Scholar: famed “Greek” statue is a fake by Michelangelo Scientific tests could help assess claim Posted March 30
    Special to World Science
    In a case that may test the limits of forgery-detection science, a scholar claims one of history’s most fabled archaeological finds is a fake—by one of history’s most lionized artists. Lynn Catterson, a summer lecturer at Columbia University, New York City, says the storied sculpture Laocoön , unearthed in 1506 to international acclaim, was not created by the ancient Greeks, as traditionally believed. The creator was the famed Renaissance artist Michelangelo Buonarroti, she insists. Experts say scientific tests might help validate some of these claims, but the age of the piece could make it difficult.
    Michelangelo is reputed to have faked other ancient artworks. He is also said to have been at the scene of the Laocoön (pronounced Lao-Cowan) discovery and to have “authenticated” the piece for Pope Julius II. The pope acquired it and displayed it in the Vatican, where it remains. The marble sculpture depicts a priest and his sons struggling to break free of an attacking sea snake, based on a story in Homer’s Iliad
    Catterson didn’t reveal the basis for her claims, but announced that she will present evidence at a lecture April 6 at the university’s Italian Academy for Advanced Studies in America.

    Michael Angelo
    Giorgio Vasari's Lives of the Artists
    Michael Angelo was at this time fourteen years old, and he made such progress that he astonished Domenico, who saw that he not only surpassed his other pupils, of whom he had a great number, but often equalled the things he did himself. It happened once that one of the boys who was learning there had copied with a pen some women out of one of Ghirlandajo's works, and Michael Angelo, taking the paper, with a thicker pen outlined one of the women again, as she should have been drawn; and it is a wonderful thing to see the difference, and consider the courage of the youth who was daring enough to correct his master's things. I have this drawing still, as a relic, having received it from Granaccio; and in the year 1550, when he was in Rome, Giorgio showed it to Michael Angelo, who recognised it and was glad to see it, saying modestly that he knew more of the art when he was a boy than now he was old. maravedis

Without having seen the Sistine Chapel one can form no appreciable idea of what one man is capable of achieving. - Johann Wolfgang Goethe, Rome 1787 The Artist's View Imagine the artist, Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni, working alone, suspended high above the floor in a scaffold, lying on his back, working in a difficult medium he did not particularly care for. Yet he was already famous, and was no doubt compelled by his pride, and his artistic passion, to strive for the perfection that had earned him the well-deserved sobriquet, 'divine'. Despite his discomfort, his well-known dislike of painting, and his desire to return to sculpting the figures for the tomb of Julius II, within the space of four years this incredible individual painted some 300 figures, adorning more than 5800 square feet of the St Peter's Sistine Chapel ceiling with a stunning masterwork beyond what many could achieve in a dozen lifetimes

    Brazilian Doctors Uncover 'Michelangelo Code'
    Click to enlarge SAO PAULO, Brazil Two Brazilian doctors and amateur art lovers believe they have uncovered a secret lesson on human anatomy hidden by Renaissance artist Michelangelo in the Sistine Chapel's ceiling. Completed nearly 500 years ago, the brightly colored frescoes painted on the Vatican's famous sanctuary are considered some of the world's greatest works of art. They depict Biblical scenes such as the "Creation of Adam" in which God reaches out to touch Adam's finger. But Gilson Barreto and Marcelo de Oliveira believe Michelangelo also scattered his detailed knowledge of internal anatomy across 34 of the ceiling's 38 panels. The way they see it, a tree trunk is not just a tree trunk, but also a bronchial tube. And a green bag in one scene is really a human heart.
