 | | Painter, sculptor, and architect, Michelangelo Buonarroti was born in Caprese, near Florence, Italy in 1475. |
 | | Although a Renaissance artist, Michelangelo generated sculptural detailing that marked the beginning of the Baroque and the end of purely classical architecture. |
 | | He always subordinated invention to the needs of overall composition, which to Michelangelo was analogous with the symmetry and articulation of the human body. |
