Michelangelo Buonarroti, (1475-1564) - The Last Judgement - Vatican - Rome Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni (Italian: March 1475 – 18 February 1564), known mononymously as Michelangelo (English: ˌmaɪkəl] was an Italian sculptor, painter, architect, and poet of the High Renaissance. Born in the Republic of Florence, 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. Michelangelo 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. Michelangelo 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." In 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. Life Early life, 1475–1488 Michelangelo was born on 6 March 1475 in Caprese, known today as Caprese Michelangelo, a small town situated in Valtiberina, near Arezzo, Tuscany. For several generations, his family had been small-scale bankers in Florence; but the bank failed, and his father, Ludovico di Leonardo Buonarroti Simoni, briefly took a government post in Caprese, where Michelangelo was born. At the time of Michelangelo's birth, his father was the town's judicial administrator and podestà or local administrator of Chiusi della Verna. Michelangelo's mother was Francesca di Neri del Miniato di Siena. The Buonarrotis claimed to descend from the Countess Matilde di Canossa—a claim that remains unproven, but which Michelangelo believed. Several months after Michelangelo's birth, the family returned to Florence, where he was raised. During his mother's later prolonged illness, and after her death in 1481 (when he was six years old), Michelangelo lived with a nanny and her husband, a stonecutter, in the town of Settignano, where his father owned a marble quarry and a small farm. There he gained his love for marble. As Giorgio Vasari quotes him: If there is some good in me, it is because I was born in the subtle atmosphere of your country of Arezzo. Along with the milk of my nurse I received the knack of handling chisel and hammer, with which I make my figures.

When Michelangelo finished this statue, the story goes that he struck it across the knee with his hammer and shouted: "Why don't you speak?" Looking at it, you can see why he expected an answer. The figure is Moses, carved by Michelangelo between 1513 and 1515 for the tomb of Pope Julius II, and it stands today in the church of San Pietro in Vincoli in Rome. It is one of the most lifelike things ever cut from stone, and Michelangelo himself is said to have considered it his most living creation. According to the legend, when it was done, the silence of something so alive was more than he could bear. He hit its knee and demanded that it speak. Some say a faint mark on the knee is still there… Look first at the head, and you will see something strange: two horns rising from his hair. They are not a symbol of evil. They are one of the most famous translation errors in history. When the Hebrew scriptures were rendered into Latin, the word describing Moses coming down from Mount Sinai, karan, was read as "horned." But the same set of letters can also mean "radiant," "emitting rays of light." Moses' face was not growing horns. It was shining. By Michelangelo's time the mistranslation was centuries old and fixed in tradition, so he carved the horns, as nearly every artist before him had. Then look at the face. The head is turned to one side, the brows drawn down, the eyes fixed on something beyond the room. Many scholars believe Michelangelo caught Moses in a single specific instant: the moment he comes down from the mountain holding the commandments and sees his people worshipping a golden idol, the breath before his fury erupts. The whole body is tensed on the edge of motion, and yet it will never move. Michelangelo believed every block of marble held a living figure inside it, waiting to be set free. With Moses, he came closer than anyone ever had, and when he laid down his tools, only one thing was still beyond him: he had made a man who could do everything but speak...
