Michelangelo Buonarotti was born near Arezzo, Italy,
on March 6,
1475. Michelangelo saw art
as a sacred calling
through
which the beauty of humans
could be enhanced. He was
educated
in Florence under the tutelage of a painter and a
sculptor. It is therefore
understandable that he grew to be fascinated
by art. Michelangelo was commissioned to paint the famous
Sistine Chapel walls and frescoes. This, he
performed to the best of his capabilities. He
created
a beautiful biblical presentation
of the birth of
humanity. This
consists of the six days of creation and the making of
Adam and Eve.
Michelangelo was also a sculptor. He captured the
beauty of the
human form in his sculptures,
'David and the
Slaves', 'Moses' and 'Madonna and Child'. The splendour of his art can still be viewed in Rome
today.
Towards the last years of his
life, Michelangelo
worked even harder,
with seemingly tireless energy. He developed a
distinctive style of his
own and devoted more effort to pictures and
architecture. However,
he became very depressed as his last days
approached and
this was evident in his last few pieces of
work, 'Judgment Day' and
'Conversion of St. Paul'. They
portrayed physical aggression, implying
the unnecessity of suffering in this world. |
