Michelangelo's Hidden Art

Michelangelo is known as the most famous artist of his time. He is my favorite artist because did any kind of art that he was challenged to do. He was a sculpture, painter, architect, and a poet. His nickname was also "The Father and Master of all The Arts".

Michelangelo was an Italian Renaissance artist. Almost everybody knows about his sculpture of David and his painting in the Sistine chapel but don't know about his job of creating the tomb for Pope Julius the second. This was one of Michelangelo's first large projects to work on and it took him years to finish. He put a lot of effort and detail into his tomb and most people didn't even recognize it as his at the time.

"Madonna on the Stairs" is a relief that Michelangelo created in his teens. It shows a woman protecting her child under her long clothes. He didn't leave much information about it. Madonna was a Greek woman that was protecting her child from Christ.

"Battle of the Centaurs" is another not-so famous relief that Michelangelo created in his teens. While this piece of work is very famous in Greece not many other countries know about this beautiful piece of work. This shows the battle between the Lapiths and the Centaurs. This was a very powerful subject of mythical creatures that were made into art in Greece and still is until this day.
