Nathalia

Here are a few details about my life.... My birth name is Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni. I was born in 6 of March of 1475, in Caprese, Italy, near Arezzo. I was an sculptor,architect,engineer and painter who had an enormous influence on the development of WESTERN ART. I was considered the greatest living artists in my lifetime and the best-documented artist of the 16th century. Two of my known works were sculpted before I turned thirty.I also created two of the most influential works in the Western Art: the scenes from Genesis on the Ceiling and The last Judgment. At my childhood, my father sent me to study grammar with an Humanist called Francesco da Urbino, in Florence, But i didn't showed interest on it. What I really liked was copying paintings from churches and searching for painters. At the age of thirteen, I was apprenticed to the painter Domenico Ghirlandaio. Lorenzo de' Medici asked Ghirlandaio for his two best pupils, and I was one of them. I attended the Humanist academy of Medici. While I was there, I studied Sculpture under Bertoldo di Giovanni. My art and outlook were subject to the influence of many philosophers and writers. I received artistics influences of many painters, sculptors and intellectuals of the time.

=Hier is one of my best Sculptores called //Pietà.//= = = =This Sculture depicts the body of Jesus on the lap of his mother Mary, after the Crucifixion.= =It is an important work that balances the Renaissance ideals of classical beauty with naturalism.= = =

In the Renaissance I showed the Human Perfection, this idea displayed was accepted in art and many other painters adhered this ideia in their arts. My works were very important to the Renaissance as sculptures, paintings and other works of which many artists could learn new techniques and knowledge. Sistine Chapel: one of my important works to Renaissance.

I was known as Renaissance man I had knowledge about many diferent areas of art. In my works, I was famous to retract the nature beauty and the human perfection, where I could place many human characteristics on my sculptures and natural beauty, such as nude male. Here are some of my arts where people considered that had these details.

=My sculpture of David became an important symbol of the city challenged the power of the overbearing Medici.=



=This Monument is called " THE TOMB OF POPE JULIUS II". I built __MOSES__, __LEAH__ and __RACHEL__, that are the statues of low. Before I completed them, I designed six different styles for the monument. These statues are recognized as examples of the Renaissance.=

I think, that my contributions to the Renaissance were good, because many other artists and sculpturs learned something from my works. They improved their works, using as base, my sculptures and paintings and from other artists too. In the Renaissance, I could retract many characteristics and details of human body,for example, in their natural way. People could take these details and transform in something different and better. I think, that my works served more to help apprentices of the art improve their skills,learn by sculptures or photographs some stories about our past and see how the Renaissance was able to make progress in various fields of art and science literature.

=This sculpture shown here, I did when I was in the school of Medici and shows the nudism and clearly details of the human body.=

=This Sulpture is called __THE FLORENTINE PIETÁ__. The sculpture is similar to the previous one, with Jesus dead,but not anymore in the lap of Mary but in the lap of people who saw Jesus die. This sculpture have a few more details, and how many people say, is the full form of the first __PIETA__ completed.=
