Michelangelo

Michelangelo buonarroti was born on March 6, 1475 and died February 18, 1564. His family was pretty big you could say with a father ludocivo di Leonardo buonarotto simoni and Francesca di neri del minia. And four brothers who where buonarroto buonarroti, Gismondo buonarroti, Giovan buonarroti, and Leonardo buonarroti. His father was a magistrate which was like a political figure and I didn’t read anything about his mother but his mother did die when Michelangelo was 6. Michelangelo had very little education because he really did believe it was necessary but when he did go to school is teachers name was Francesca urbino. I couldn’t find a marrage or a wife’s name anywhere but I did find out that Michelangelo did have a thing for a man who wrote poems to each other. Michelangelo had a few struggles with his work, he faced conflict between his genius and his reputation and would constantly be stopped by that conflict. Next he faced the death of his patron Lorenzo de medici which almost crippled him as an artist. Lastly, people often said he lacked grace and gentility. Michelangelo was a sculptor in the renaissance and some of his famous works include Sistine chapel, David, pieta, Moses etc. 2 pieces I liked were definitely the Sistine chapel and David because ones a painting and the others a sculptor. And I really liked the designs of the Sistine chapel.
