Michelangelo Buonarroti
1475-1564
Born
in Caprese, Italy Michelangelo's talent was recognized by Lorenzo
de'Medici who took him to live with their family. His main interest
was in Sculptures, but the fresco paintings he did for the ceiling
of the Sistine Chapel were regarded as one of the crowning achievements
of the Renaissance Period.

Michelangelo
Sistine Chapel
The Sistine Chapel was built at the end of the 15th century by Giovanni Dolci. Its walls are frescoed with 12 paintings by Perugino, Pinturicchio, Botticelli, Signorelli and Ghirlandaio, and the greatest masterpiece being the frescoes of the vaults painted by Michelangelo for Pope Julius 11 between 1508 and 1512. The restoration of the ceiling between 1985 and 1989 revealed pure color, which caused doubts and incredulity which is still discussed.
