Description:

Michelangelo was an Italian sculptor, painter, architect and poet of the Renaissance born in the Republic of Florence. He exerted an unparalleled influence on the development of Western art. His artistic versatility was of such a high order that he is often considered a contender for the title of the archetypal Renaissance man, along with his rival, Leonardo da Vinci. Several scholars have described Michelangelo as the greatest artist of his age and even as the greatest artist of all time
