Michelangelo

Michelangelo, whose full name is Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni, also translated as Michelangelo and Michelangelo, was an Italian Renaissance sculptor, architect, painter, and poet. He was known as the "Three Masters of Renaissance Art" along with Leonardo da Vinci and Raphael Sanzio. He was famous for his "fitness" in his characters, and even the female body was depicted with strong muscles. His sculpture "David" is world-famous. The four statues of "Day", "Night", "Morning" and "Dusk" in front of the Medici family tomb are novel in conception. In addition, famous sculptures include "Statue of Moses", "The Great Slave", etc. His most famous paintings are the "Genesis" ceiling painting and the fresco "The Last Judgment" in the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican. He also designed and initially built St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican, and designed and built the mausoleum of Pope Julius II. Michelangelo had a bad temper, was unsociable, could not get along with Leonardo da Vinci and Raphael, and often contradicted his benefactor. However, he pursued artistic perfection throughout his life and insisted on his own artistic ideas. Michelangelo was born in Caprese in the Republic of Florence in 1475 and died in Rome in 1564 at the age of 88. His style influenced artists for almost three centuries.
