michelangelo

Michelangelo was an artist from Italy, and he was the artist who painted the Sistine Chapel. here is a picture of him :

Michelangelo's mother died when he was six, and because of no mother, he had trouble getting along with his family. He was devoted to his father, brothers, and nephews, but they didn't thank him for that. He never married or had kids. He was born on March 6th, 1475, and died on Febuary 18th, 1564. He lived until he was 89. Can you believe that he lived that long?! His works were almost entirely in the service of the Catholic Church. Belive it or not, Michealangelo was more than a painter. He was also a sculptor, an architect, and a poet.
