Renaissance Man

Michelangelo was the "Renaissance Man". He had so many memorable works of art. He was an all-round artist. The Renaissance was time of change and sophistication. This is exactly how Michelangelo painted. The Pieta was a beautiful statue that represents the importance of religion during this time.  He also made the famous statue of David.  This is a symbol of this time. It is so important and so famous. Everyone recognizes this beautiful work of art. His most amazing work is on the Sistine Chapel. This shows his talent and skill. Without Michelangelo, the Renaissance would not have some of the most influential and famous works of art the world has ever seen.
