Before reaching the tender age of thirty, Michelangelo Buonarroti
(1475-1564) had already sculpted David and Pi&,#232,ta, two of
the most famous sculptures in the entire history of art. Like
fellow Florentine Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo was a shining
star of the Renaissance and a genius of consummate virtuosity. His
achievements as a sculptor, painter, draughtsman, and architect are
unique—no artist before or after him has ever produced such a vast,
multi-faceted, and wide-ranging oeuvre. Only a handful of other
painters and sculptors have attained a comparable social status and
enjoyed a similar artistic freedom. This is demonstrated not only
by the frescoes of the Sistine Chapel but also by Michelangelo’s
monumental sculptures and his unconventional architectural designs,
whose forms went far beyond the accepted vocabulary of his day.
Such was his talent that Michelangelo was considered a demigod by
his contemporaries and was the subject of two biographies during
his lifetime. Adoration of this remarkable man’s work has only
increased on the intervening centuries.
