Michelangelo

Italian, 1475–1564

Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni è stato uno scultore, pittore, architetto e poeta italiano, ampiamente considerato uno degli artisti più influenti del Rinascimento. È nato il 6 marzo 1475 a Caprese, in Italia, e morì il 18 febbraio 1564 a Roma. Michelangelo è noto soprattutto per i suoi capolavori nella scultura, nella pittura e nell'architettura, tra cui la Statua di David, il soffitto della Cappella Sistina e la Pietà. Si è formato nell'atelier di Domenico Ghirlandaio e successivamente ha studiato scultura classica nei giardini dei Medici. Durante la sua carriera, il lavoro di Michelangelo si è caratterizzato per la sua intensità emotiva e precisione anatomica, che hanno stabilito un nuovo standard per il raggiungimento artistico. I suoi contributi all'arte occidentale hanno avuto un impatto duraturo, influenzando innumerevoli artisti e movimenti successivi.
