Today in class we talked about and watched a movie about Michelangelo. Here are my notes about him:
- Michelangelo
○ His most famous sculpture is the Pieta
○ Made of marble
○ They would get it down by using wooden sleds and roll them down the hill
○ The people are trying to make a copy of the Pieta
○ He lived like a poor man
○ He received 45,000 dollars for doing the statue
○ It is in the heart of the Roman Catholic Church- St. Peter's Basilica
○ Not everyone signed their work back then, but Michelangelo signed his so people would know you sculpted it
He wasalso asked to paint the Sisten Chapel
