Michelangelo
Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475–1564), known simply as Michelangelo, was an Italian sculptor, painter, architect, and poet of the High Renaissance born in Caprese, Italy. He is considered one of the greatest artists of all time. His sculptural works, including David and the Pietà, showcase an unparalleled skill in capturing human emotion and physicality. As a painter, his frescoes in the Sistine Chapel in Rome, including The Last Judgment and the ceiling's creation scenes, are iconic masterpieces of Western art. Michelangelo's architectural contributions include the design of the dome of St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican. His profound influence on the development of Western art is immeasurable.
