on the evolution of Western art,
particularly in regard to Renaissance
concepts of humanism and naturalism.

Along with his adversary and elder
contemporary, Leonardo da Vinci, he is

sometimes regarded as the ideal
Renaissance man. Michelangelo is one of
the best-documented painters of the 16th
century, thanks to the sheer number of

surviving letters, drawings, and
reminiscences, and some experts have
hailed him as the most talented artist of

his day.



Before the age of thirty, he sculpted two
of his most famous masterpieces, the

Pietà and David. Despite his disdain for
painting, he painted two of the most
famous murals in Western art history:
images from Genesis on the ceiling of
Rome's Sistine Chapel and The Last
Judgment on its altar wall. His
Laurentian Library design was a

forerunner of Mannerism architecture.

David was commissioned as one of a series of prophet statues to be positioned along the roofline of
Florence Cathedral's east end, but was instead placed in a public square, outside the Palazzo Vecchio,
Florence's seat of civic government, in the Piazza della Signoria, where it was unveiled on September 8,
1504. In 1873, the monument was relocated to Florence's Galleria dell'Accademia, where it was
eventually replaced with a replica.

ARTWORK Artist: Michelangelo



Artist: Michelangelo

The Sistine Chapel ceiling (1508 - 1512)
by Michelangelo

The Sistine Chapel ceiling, painted by Michelangelo between 1508 and 1512, is a cornerstone
work of High Renaissance art. The ceiling is that of the Sistine Chapel, the large papal chapel
built within the Vatican between 1477 and 1480 by Pope Sixtus IV, for whom the chapel is
named.
Nine episodes from the Book of Genesis, including the famed Creation of Adam, are central to
the ceiling artwork. The intricate design comprises numerous sets of individual individuals,
both dressed and naked, allowing Michelangelo to completely display his expertise in
producing a great range of positions for the human form and serving as an incredibly
important pattern book of models for other painters ever since. The ceiling has been repaired
several times, the most recent being in the late twentieth century.
