Michelangelo’s full name is Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni. He was born in Caprese in 1475 and died in 1564 in Rome. His father was named Ludovico Buonarroti Simoni and his mother was named Francesca Neri and she died when he was the age of six. Michelangelo’s family moved back to Florence before he had been one month old.
He was apprenticed to an artist named Domenico Ghirlandaio at the age of thirteen. He later tried to cover it up that he had been a normal apprentice. After a small period of time (only a year) he was allowed to observe a great collection of Roman sculptures. And was apprenticed to a man named Lorenzo de’ Medici.
His first work ever was the Battle of the Centaurs. He created this work when he was the age of seventeen. After Lorenzo died he fled from Florence to Bologna. After he spent a short period of time in Bologna he went back to Florence and then moved on to Rome.
When he went to Rome he was immediately asked to make a Bacchus for a rich banker. The Bacchus he made for the banker is the earliest surviving sculpture. The banker was so pleased he again asked Michelangelo again to make the famous work of art known as the Pieta.
Upon
Michelangelo’s return to Florence in the year 1501 he was known as the
most talented sculptor of central Italy. At the time he had many minor
works but now came one of his major works. He was ordered to carve the
thirteen foot tall David.
In 1508 his next task was assigned to him by Pope Julius II.
The assignment was to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. While the ceiling usually consisted of only single people pictures he introduced the dramatic scenes. This was his earliest design painting that Michelangelo ever did.
Michelangelo was comissioned his second Chapel, the Medici Chapel. Michelangelo filled the 1530s and the 1540s with poetry. He was a very respected poet.
1543 is a very important date in Michelangelo's life. it is the year Michelangelo left Florence for the last time and stayed in Rome.
