He was born in the Republic of Florence but was mostly active in Rome from his 30s onwards. His work was inspired by models from classical antiquity and had a lasting influence on Western art. Michelangelo's creative abilities and mastery in a range of artistic arenas define him as an archetypal Renaissance man, along with his rival and elder contemporary, Leonardo da Vinci. Given the sheer volume of surviving correspondence, sketches, and reminiscences, Michelangelo is one of the best-documented artists of the 16th century. He was lauded by contemporary biographers as the most accomplished artist of his era.\n\nMichelangelo achieved fame early. Two of his best-known works, the Pietà and David, were sculpted before the age of 30. Although he did not consider himself a painter, Michelangelo created two of the most influential frescoes in the history of Western art: the scenes from Genesis on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in Rome, and The Last Judgment on its altar wall. His design of the Laurentian Library pioneered Mannerist architecture. At the age of 71, he succeeded Antonio da Sangallo the Younger as the architect of St. Peter's Basilica. Michelangelo transformed the plan so that the Western end was finished to his design, as was the dome, with some modification, after his death.\n\nMichelangelo was the first Western artist whose biography was published while he was alive. Three biographies were published during his lifetime. One of them, by Giorgio Vasari, proposed that Michelangelo's work transcended that of any artist living or dead, and was \"supreme in not one art alone but in all three\".\n\nIn his lifetime, Michelangelo was often called Il Divino (\"the divine one\"). His contemporaries admired his terribilità—his ability to instill a sense of awe in viewers of his art. Attempts by subsequent artists to imitate the expressive physicality of Michelangelo's style contributed to the rise of Mannerism, a short-lived movement in Western art between the High Renaissance and the Baroque.","1475-03-06","1564-02-18","michelangelo\u002Fmichelangelo",3,"MALE",[22,27,31],{"name":23,"id":24,"slug":25,"dates":26},"Renaissance","24126a7a-8a45-44f0-9585-e8378dd206e2","renaissance","",{"name":28,"id":29,"slug":30,"dates":26},"High Renaissance","675dcdea-1b39-405b-b0b0-f29a287e4a90","high-renaissance",{"name":32,"id":33,"slug":34,"dates":26},"Italian Renaissance","8f9f464c-8fd7-47d8-8125-94e431bcf539","italian-renaissance","the-sistine-chapel-ceiling","1508 - 1512","The Sistine Chapel ceiling (Italian: Soffitto della Cappella Sistina), painted in fresco by Michelangelo between 1508 and 1512, is a cornerstone work of High Renaissance art.\n\nThe Sistine Chapel is the large papal chapel built within the Vatican between 1477 and 1480 by Pope Sixtus IV, for whom the chapel is named. The ceiling was painted at the commission of Pope Julius II.\n\nThe ceiling's various painted elements form part of a larger scheme of decoration within the chapel. Prior to Michelangelo's contribution, the walls were painted by several leading artists of the late 15th century including Sandro Botticelli, Domenico Ghirlandaio, and Pietro Perugino. After the ceiling was painted, Raphael created a set of large tapestries (1515–1516) to cover the lower portion of the wall. Michelangelo returned to the chapel to create The Last Judgment, a large wall fresco situated behind the altar. The chapel's decoration illustrates much of the doctrine of the Catholic Church, serving as the setting for papal conclaves and many other important services.\n\nCentral to the ceiling decoration are nine scenes from the Book of Genesis, including The Creation of Adam. The complex design includes several sets of figures, some clothed and some nude, allowing Michelangelo to demonstrate his skill in depicting the human figure in a variety of poses.

Originally known as the Cappella Magna ('Great Chapel'), it takes its name from Pope Sixtus IV, who had it built between 1473 and 1481. Since that time, it has served as a place of both religious and functionary papal activity. Today, it is the site of the papal conclave, the process by which a new pope is selected. The chapel's fame lies mainly in the frescoes that decorate its interior, most particularly the Sistine Chapel ceiling and The Last Judgment, both by Michelangelo.\n\nDuring the reign of Sixtus IV, a team of Renaissance painters including Sandro Botticelli, Pietro Perugino, Pinturicchio, Domenico Ghirlandaio and Cosimo Rosselli, created a series of frescoes depicting the Life of Moses and the Life of Christ, offset by papal portraits above and trompe-l'œil drapery below. They were completed in 1482, and on 15 August 1483 Sixtus IV celebrated the first mass in the Sistine Chapel for the Feast of the Assumption, during which the chapel was consecrated and dedicated to the Virgin Mary.\n\nBetween 1508 and 1512, under the patronage of Pope Julius II, Michelangelo painted the chapel's ceiling, a project that changed the course of Western art and is regarded as one of the major artistic accomplishments of human civilization. In a different political climate, after the Sack of Rome, he returned and, between 1535 and 1541, painted The Last Judgment for popes Clement VII and Paul III. The fame of Michelangelo's paintings has drawn multitudes of visitors to the chapel since they were revealed five centuries ago.","sistine-chapel\u002Fbackground\u002Fsistine-chapel_background","sistine-chapel\u002Flogo\u002Fsistine-chapel_logo","+39 06 6988 3145",5,"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.museivaticani.va","Sistine_Chapel",[81,82,83],{"name":23,"id":24,"slug":25,"dates":26},{"name":28,"id":29,"slug":30,"dates":26},{"name":32,"id":33,"slug":34,"dates":26},[85],{"name":86,"id":87,"slug":88},"Fresco","68a8e705-3746-4d66-a964-4eca4ab536d6","fresco",[90],[91,118,146],{"title":92,"id":93,"artists":94,"slug":97,"date":98,"description":99,"height":100,"image":101,"inPrivateCollection":40,"isLocationUnknown":40,"originalTitle":102,"popularity":77,"width":103,"wikipediaId":104,"collections":105,"genres":106,"museum":109,"movements":112,"mediums":116},"The Creation of Adam","b06d7301-adde-48b6-87fb-b1fdc0a1634a",[95],{"name":8,"id":9,"nationality":96,"slug":14,"biography":15,"born":16,"death":17,"image":18,"popularity":19,"sex":20,"wikipediaId":8},{"id":11,"name":12,"slug":13},"the-creation-of-adam","c. 1512","The Creation of Adam (Italian: Creazione di Adamo), also known as The Creation of Man,: plate 54 is a fresco painting by Italian artist Michelangelo, which forms part of the Sistine Chapel's ceiling, painted c. 1508–1512.

Michelangelo began working on it 25 years after finishing the Sistine Chapel ceiling, and was nearly 67 at its completion. He had originally accepted the commission from Pope Clement VII, but it was completed under Pope Paul III whose stronger reforming views probably affected the final treatment.\n\nIn the lower part of the fresco, Michelangelo followed tradition in showing the saved ascending at the left and the damned descending at the right. In the upper part, the inhabitants of Heaven are joined by the newly saved. The fresco is more monochromatic than the ceiling frescoes and is dominated by the tones of flesh and sky. The cleaning and restoration of the fresco, however, revealed a greater chromatic range than previously apparent. Orange, green, yellow, and blue are scattered throughout, animating and unifying the complex scene.\n\nThe reception of the painting was mixed from the start, with much praise but also criticism on both religious and artistic grounds.
