Like no other, Michelangelo brightened up painting, sculpture and architecture with his creative powers and his overwhelming idealism. Apart from his talent as a sculptor and architect, his fame as a painter is rooted especially in the frescoes of the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican. His amazing talent for turning his visions into paintings can be seen in these frescoes in a very special way. Time and again, the uniqueness of the human body is the center of his work. Michelangelo was born in 1489 in Caprese and died in 1564 in Rome. In his early days, he essentially concentrated on sculpture. The groundwork for his artistic fame was laid in Florence under the guidance of his patron, Lorenzo Medici, and was lateron pursued in Rome under Popes Julius II. and Clement VII.
