Michelangelo

Michelangelo, for me, is one of the greatest artists in the story of humanity. He was an italian sculptor, painter, architect and poet, one of the most important exponents of the Art in the Rennaissance, allong with Leonardo Da Vinci. He was born in  1475, and he  died at the age o 88 in 1564.

He is sindicated as the "founder" of the Mannerist painting, a style that was related to the high masters of the Renaissance, like Da Vinci, Rafael or Michelangelo itself. His painting was realistic and naturalistic, but had some twisted details, exaggerating some characteristics of the models. Most of his paintings were orientated to christian religion, being paid by some popes for his work. One of the greatest paintings of Michelangelo is The creation of Adan, The Last Judgement or The Conversion of Saint Paul; all of it are placed in the Sixtine Chapel, in the Vatican

He is one of my favorites painters specially for his perfectionistic work, and for the his enormous artistic heritage. Here is picture of The Last Judgement, one of the pictures of the Sixtine Chapel
