Michelangelo works - part1
Michelangelo Buonarroti was born in 1475 in Florence, Italy, and came
into his own at the height of the Renaissance.
For an artist of his talent and abilities, it was simply perfect timing.
Like his contemporary and rival Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo had a wide range of talents, including architecture, sculpture, painting, and poetry, all of which
he used prolifically during the course of his life.
The tasks he undertook were immense, many of them taking several years to complete.
If for no other reason, the sheer scale of some of his projects
(most notably the Sistine Chapel) is enough to prove Michelangelo’s place in history.
