The work of sculpture entitled to this day still serve as a lesson for plagiarized material for each novice who learned to paint.

Michelangelo has represented the highest sculpture in Renaissance Europe, human sculpture gallant, charismatic, filled with energy that seems limitless. A large number of his works in the realistic depiction of the basic occupied spiritual power that is not common, a typical symbol of a whole era. Michelangelo's art is different from the spirit of scientific and philosophical considerations of Da Vinci and on in his artwork has been poured full of excitement yourself that is tragic. The nature of this tragic diexpresikan out with a beautiful and majestic style and heroes he created besides being an ideal symbol is also a reflection of reality. The things that make his artwork into a high peak that is difficult unrivaled in the history of western art.
Michelangelo was born not far from Florence in a noble family Caprese. The father served as mayor of Chiusi and Caprese. It is said that when he was 6 years old his mother died, her father had invited a girl from a mason as a host (mother milk). So when he was a toddler already has the disposition of a mason, so that later became professor of sculptors and establish a lifelong soul mate relationship with the emeralds.
Since childhood, Michelangelo had loved art. Although the father is not willing him to be an expert art low social status, but eventually went along with her wishes anyway. Initially he studied painting at the famous Florentine painter, Domenico Ghirlandaio, then studied sculpture under the direction of Lorenzo de 'Medici. Clan Medici art collection is very much more and create more open-minded Michelangelo. When he was 16 years old had completed his first sculptures
1496 Michelangelo came to Rome that he had long dreamed. Soon he had produced. Sculptures at the beginning of this period has shown his artistic creativity is very high. In these works, the dying Christ lying in the lap of his mother, the mother looked down toward his son, filled with pain and compassion. The complete works of making people other than that, there are grieving along with a sense of beauty, after exhibited directly cause a commotion throughout the city of Rome, people somehow do not think that this is the work of newcomers who are not even 25 years old.
In Rome, Michelangelo was in touch with the works of great teachers of old, his art skills have progressed rapidly. Spring of 1501 after he returned to Florence to create the statue.
is the work that brought success to Michelangelo, themanya taken from fairy tales. King David of ancient Israel, in his youth had been a shepherd. On a day when he was delivering food to the battlefield to his brothers met with a cruel giant Goliath of the enemy who was raging, when danger threatens, David used a stone thrower and managed to destroy Goliath. Michelangelo's statue of David to establish a gallant young man, being sturdy and resilient, a pair of sharp eyes shining, slightly bowed his head, glanced wrath toward the front, while the left hand holding a "stone thrower" resting on their shoulders, as if ready at any when to send the deadly attacks to enemies. The statue is strongly radiates courage and strength of the fighter for justice.
For the sake of Michelangelo's statue has spent about 3 years, making it almost reached the level flawless condition. The success, makes Michelangelo as the greatest sculptor of experts at the time. by the time it is placed on the ground in front of government buildings of Florence, until today you can still enjoy these wonderful works.
In 1503 because ketersohorannya in Florence, the Pope of Rome at that time, Julius II invited him to Rome following the making of the tomb of Pope, lately because of incitement of artists who envy, projects had to be stopped. In 1508, Michelangelo returned to Rome, forced to work on ceiling fresco for the Sistine ceiling of the church which have not once he mastered it well. He felt the time was mixed with sadness and anger unexpectedly mural (fresco ceiling) is even later became his greatest.
Sistine ceiling fresco broad reach about 500 m2, in the history of art is one of the largest murals. Michelangelo in the middle of the hall was set up scaffolding / Clothing have continued to paint religious pictures with 9 units are not standard sizes, all took the theme of the story in the Book of Genesis to the Flood of Noah's Ark, a row is called:
1. God Separating Light from Darkness (God separates light from darkness),
2. Creation of the Sun and Moon (Creation of the sun and the moon),
3. God separates the mainland from the sea (God separates land from the Water) 4.
4. Creation of Adam (The Creation of Adam),
5. Creation of Woman (Creation of Woman),
6. Deceived and Expelled from Eden (Original Sin),
7. Pengkurbanan Noah (The sacrifice of Noah),
8. Flood (the flood),
9. Noah was drunk (Drunkenness of Noah).
The work of the giant Fresco require 4 years later finished. Because tilting the head during a long period of time to paint with great difficulty, neck and neck to be straight and rigid, since then he needs his head looked up in reading drawings and letters.
Fresco ceiling:
Among the mural group, considered the most prominent. The design shows Michelangelo had obtained clues supernatural inspiration, he made Adam as a central body, as if Adam had just woken from a deep sleep and was lying comfortably lazy sideways and his body seems to still shorthanded. But the mighty figure of a young body of Adam is realized by the painter filled with a maximal ideal of beauty and the hidden latent vitality. Adam reached out to touch the hand of God who has bestowed life and flowing with vitality. The touch of the finger of God and the human finger is the focus point of the whole painting, also without a doubt is the symbol of the whole. Things that make people to repeatedly merenunginya is Michelangelo did not let both hands are touched together and emit a creation of God's mysteries. Distance adrift has become an instant bit of waiting has left a lasting and eternal imagination space.
The second year, Julius II died, his successor Pope Leo X decided just made a statue for the tomb of his predecessor. Michelangelo produced three works of marble, is one of them famous. In these works, Florence carving style and style / nature of the space of Rome has been merged seamlessly into one and gained great success.

Along with it he built a chapel for the Medici clan in Florence, bequeathed a meaningful sculptural group,,,. Along with that also accept deposits from the Pope of Rome to create a giant mural. Image was started in 1541 and after the last 6 years can only be solved.
It says in the Bible, when the Day of Judgement comes, Christ will perform terakir trial, to punish the wicked and bless the good and determine the final destination of mankind. In the middle of this painting, Christ is seen immediately raised his right hand will emit the Last Judgement. On the left there are groups of followers of Christ who suffer thanks to their beliefs and each of them holding equipment and complained to Christ's persecution.
