MICHELANGELO DI LODOVICO
BUONARROTI SIMONI
 He was born on March 6,
1475. He was considered as
one of the most famous artists
of the Italian Renaissance, with
works including the “David”
and “Pieta” statues and the
ceiling paintings of Rome’s
Sistine Chapel, including “The
Last Judgment.”
  [Our Lady of] Pity";
1498–1499) is a Carrara
marble sculpture of Jesus
and Mary at Mount
Golgotha representing
the "Sixth Sorrow" of the
Virgin Mary by
Michelangelo Buonarroti,
in Saint Peter's Basilica,
“Pieta” Vatican City, for which it
was made.
  Michelangelo, who was
just 25 years old at that
time, finished his work in
less than one year, and
the statue was erected in
the church of the
cardinal tombs.

“Pieta”
Carved from a single
piece of cararra
marble, the fluidity of
the fabric, positions
of the subjects, and
“movement” of the
skin of the Piet -
meaning “pity” or
“compassion”.
  between 1501 and
1504, Michelangelo
took over a commission
for a statue of “David,”
which two prior
sculptors had
previously attempted
and abandoned, and

“David” turned the 7-foot piece

of marble into
dominating figure.
  The strength of the
statue’s sines,
vulnerability of its
nakedness, humanity of
expression and overall
courage made the
“David” a prized
representative of the
city of Florence.
Originally
“David” commissioned for the
cathedral of Florence,
the Florentine
government.
  Pope Julius II asked
Michelangelo to switch
from sculpting to
painting to decorate the
ceiling of the Sistine
Chapel, which the artist
revealed on October 31,
1512.
 The work later had to be
completely removed
“Sistine Chapel” soon after due to fungus
in the plaster, then
recreated. (similar to
wood rotting fungi).
  Michelangelo fired
all of his assistants,
whom he deemed
inept, and
completed the 65-
foot ceiling alone,
spending endless
hours on his back
“Sistine Chapel” and guarding the
project jealously
until completion.
  The resulting
masterpiece is a
transcendent example
of High Renaissance
art incorporating the
Christian symbology,
prophecy and
humanist principles
that Michelangelo has

“Sistine Chapel” absorbed during his

youth.
  Michelangelo’s Sistine
ceiling produce a
kaledeiscope effect,
with the most iconic
image being the
“Creation of Adam,” a
portrayal of God
touching the finger of
man.
 Kaledeiscope effect is
“Sistine Chapel” a natural phenomenon
that happens when
sunlight is refracted
  Michelangelo unveiled
the soaring “Last
Judgment” on the far
wall of the Sistine
Chapel in 1541. There
was an immediate
outcry that the nude
figures were
inappropriate for so a
“Last Judgment” holy place.
 Architecture
Although Michelangelo
continued to sculp and
paint throughout his life,
following the physical
rigor of painting the
Sistine Chapel he turned
his focus toward
architecture.
He continued to work on
the tomb of Julius II,
 Poetry and Personal Life
Michelangelo’s poetic impulse, which had
been expressed in his sculptures, paintings
and architecture, began taking literary form
in his later years. Although he never married,
Michelangelo was devoted to a pious and
noble widow named Vittoria Colonna, the
subject and recepient of many of his more
than 300 poems an sonnets. Their friendship
remained a great solace to Michelangelo until
Colonna’s death in 1547.
Poetry and Personal Life
In 1532, Michelangelo developed
an attachment to a young
nobleman, Tommaso de Cavalieri
(scholars dispute whether this was
a homosexual or paternal
relationship.
LEONARDO DA VINCI
- was a painter, sculptor,
architect, inventor, military

“Virtruvian Man”

perfectly in da Vinci’s sketch
of “Virtruvian Man,” drawn in
1490, which depicted a male
figure in two superimposed
positions with his arms and
legs apart inside both a
square and a circle. The
sketch represents Leonardo’s
study of proportion as well as
his desire to relate man to
“The last Supper”
- Around 1495,
Ludovico Sforza, then
the Duke of Milan,
commissioned da Vinci
to paint “The Last
Supper” on the back
wall of the dining hall
inside the momastery
of Milan’s Santa Maria
delle Grazie.
“The last Supper”

which took
approximately three
yers to complete,

“Mona Lisa” -In 1503, da Vinci started
working on what would
become his most well-
known painting-and
arguably the most famous
painting in the world-the
“Mona Lisa.” The privately
commissioned work is
characterized by the smile of
the woman in half-portrait,
which derives from da Vinci’s
sfumato technique.
“Mona Lisa” - Sfumato
Technique
a painting technique for
softening the transition
between colours, mimicking
an area beyond what the
human eye is focusing on, or
the out-of-focus plane.

 “Painting Techniques”
- Leonardo da Vinci is well known
for his pioneering use of two
painting techniques:
• Chiaroscuro - a stark contrast between
darkness and light that gave a three-
dimentionality to da vinci’s figures.
- transitioning from light to dark to give
the illusion of volume and mass.
 “Painting Techniques”
- Leonardo da Vinci is well known
for his pioneering use of two
painting techniques:
• Sfumato - a technique in which a subtle
(fine texture) gradations, rather than
strict borders, infuse paintings with a
softer, smoky aura.
“Virgin of the Rocks”
- his painting “Virgin
of the Rocks” begun
in 1483, is a classic
example of both
these techniques.
