	Michelangelo - LoveToKnow Watches
		Michelangelo began accordingly, but could rest content with nought so meagre, and soon proposed instead a design of many hundred figures embodying the story of Genesis from the Creation to the Flood, with accessory personages of prophets and sibyls dreaming on the new dispensation to come, and, in addition, those of the forefathers of Christ.
		Michelangelo's obvious and fundamental idea was, as some words of his own record, to exhibit the elements and the powers of earth and heaven lamenting the death of the princes.
		Michelangelo was the most learned and scientific as well as the most inspired and daring of draughtsmen, and from boyhood to extreme old age never ceased to practise with pen, chalk or pencil.

		Here, as in many of his sculptures, Michelangelo left parts of the block of stone rough and unfinished, either because he was satisfied with the statues as they were or because he no longer planned to use them.
		Michelangelo probably had no formal training as an architect, but during the Renaissance it was not unusual for artists to be given architectural commissions simply because they had demonstrated the ability to draw and create designs.
		Michelangelo was again called to work in the Sistine Chapel in 1534, when Clement VII (born Giulio de’ Medici, nephew of Lorenzo the Magnificent) commissioned him to paint the wall above the altar.

	Neoplatonism and Michelangelo
		Michelangelo believed that the artist's function was to bring preexistent forms out of the material at hand: "the greatest artist has no conception which a single block of marble does not potentially contain within its mass, but only a hand which obeys the intelleto can accomplish that" (Clements 16).
		Michelangelo was famous for his ability to harmonize the design of a statue with the proportions of the block of marble.
		Michelangelo's treatment of the body as a reflection of the inner self is consistent with Neoplatonic tenets.

		Michelangelo had not, however, endured the last of the drama once it was installed in the basilica.
		Michelangelo however, as a potent and forward thinking artist recognized that the revival of humanist thought elevated the artist to new heights and that it was now acceptable, indeed necessary for the personality of the creative genius to be evince in the works.
		Michelangelo himself repeated how his body endured physical pains form the contortions of painting at such bizarre angles necessary for the ceiling in the same chapel – pains perhaps he was paying for 25 years later during the Last Judgment.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Michelangelo Buonarroti
		As student and resident of the palace, Michelangelo lived with Lorenzo's sons in the most distinguished society of Florence, and at this time was introduced by the poet Politian into the circle of the scholars of the Academy and to their learned pursuits.
		Michelangelo suffered unspeakably from the constant alteration of his plans; he was, moreover, beset by many detractors; the political disorders in his native city filled him with grief, and the years brought with them constantly increasing infirmities.
		Michelangelo, who was not a fesco-painter, exerted all his powers of mind and body, abandoning his preference for the effects of sculpture in order to express without assistance and in defiance of the envious, the full ideal of his conceptions in this unwonted medium.

		Michelangelo was evidently reluctant to abandon his sculptural project for one of painting (always much less satisfying to him), but he nonetheless began work in 1508, completed the first half by 1510 and the whole ceiling by 1512.

	Essay - Michelangelo
		Michelangelo was pessimistic in his poetry and an optimist in his artwork.
		Michelangelo himself said, "Whoever strives for perfection is striving for something divine." In painting nude humans, he is suggesting the unfinished human; each of us is born nude with a mind and a body, in Neoplatonic thought, with the power to be our own shapers.
		Michelangelo was a role model for the people of his time as well as for the people of today.

	Biography
		Michelangelo produced at least two relief sculptures by the time he was 16 years old, the Battle of the Centaurs and the Madonna of the Stairs (both 1489-92, Casa Buonarroti, Florence), which show that he had achieved a personal style at a very early age.
		Of Michelangelo's fresco, which was to represent the Battle of Cascina, an incident in the Pisan War, we now have a few studies by him and copies of a fragment of the whole full-scale cartoon which once existed (the best copy is the painting in Lord Leicester's Collection, Holkham, Norfolk).
		In sculpture, his usual method was to outline his figure on the front of the block and, as he himself wrote, to 'liberate the figure imprisoned in the marble', by working steadily inwards, with perhaps a few more finished details.

		In their case the proportion and position of light and shade change according to the intensity of light and the movement of the sun, and also according to whether the particular object is moveable or not, and in the former case according to the light at a given moment.
		Michelangelo is the forerunner of the modern man who rebels against everything and seeks to bring everything into harmony, because it is his mission to build and raise and harmonise.
		Michelangelo, in his power and in his simplicity, in the form and fierce intensity of temperament, is completely the artist of the Old Testament, its greatest plastic interpreter: he figures forth the greatness and the gloom of the Hebrew prophets, full of light and spirit, full of strength and goodness.

		In March of 1505 Michelangelo accepted an invitation of Julius II to Rome, charging him the construction of grandiose burial monument, which was projected by the artist as an impressive complex of architecture and sculpture, celebrating the triumph of the church more, than the pope to who the monument was dedicated.

		Sculpture is silent, still, and in its best examples it uses that quality to great effect in a world where everything is mobile.
		I think we need sculpture more now than at any other time, simply because it is a still moment in a moving world that asks the question, “What are you doing here?” You might also ask that question of the sculpture, but a good sculpture will always return the question to the viewer.
		One of the great attributes of sculpture is that it lives in the same space as we live, and what you have to do is somehow introduce the sculpture into that location in a way that is meaningful.

	Florence Art Guide - Michelangelo Buonarroti

		In gratitude to the prior for allowing him this privilege he carved a wooden Crucifix (the one now in the Casa Buonarroti is considered by some scholars to be the work in question).
		The (unintentional) pathos specifically evoked by the unfinished state of figures such as these and the St. Matthew (Accademia, Florence) exerted a tremendous impact on Rodin who recognized in them expressive possibilities that would be lost in a 'finished' piece.
		The same troubled spirit imbues Michelangelo's sculpture from this time, the Pietá (now Florence, Cathedral Museum), intended for his own tomb shows himself as Nicodemus - again, a comparison with the St. Peter's Pietá is eloquent testimony to the spiritual uncertainty of these later years.
