Before reaching the tender age of thirty, Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564) had already sculpted David and Pieta, two of the most famous sculptures in the entire history of art. Like fellow Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo was a shining star of the Renaissance and a genius of consummate virtuosity.
His crown achievement, the breathtaking paintings on the altar wall and ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican, is seen by millions of visitors each year. Such was his talent that Michelangelo was considered a demigod by his contemporaries and was the subject of two biographies during his lifetime.
Below is a visual journey beyond words. Get inside the mind of a genius, look around awhile, and see what was once achieved on this mortal coil.
