MICHELANGELO


Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni (6 March 1475 – 18 February 1564)


Portrait of Michelangelo, by Marcello Venusti 1535

Michelangelo's Pietà, a depiction of the body of Jesus on the lap of his mother Mary after the Crucifixion, was carved in 1499, when the sculptor was 24 years old.
Study for The Creation of Adam, before 1508.
Happy day! I got wonderful Michelangelo album. Great pictures of his sculptures, paintings with smallest details, biography with pictures of places where he was born or lived during his life, old maps of Florence and a lot of others.
Love it. Thanks!

There are few that can look up at this ceiling and not be struck with awe. The beauty and scale of Sistine Chapel Ceiling work of art is simply unmatched.
The iconic image of the hand of God giving life to Adam. The Sistine Chapel ceiling, painted by Michelangelo between 1508 and 1512.
