Michelangelo (full name: Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti
Simoni) was born in Caprese, a village in Florentine, on March 6th,
1475. He is certainly one of the most representative artists of the XVI
century: a sculptor, a painter, an architect and a poet; a true
Renaissance man in the best tradition of his contemporary, Leonardo
da Vinci. He lived to a great age and enjoyed great fame in his
lifetime. Titian’s and Venetian’s paintings were very much influenced
by his vision, and he is responsible to a great extent for the
development of Mannerism. He died on February 18th, 1564, in Roma.
Look at his architectural works.
