Illustrating History! 00:00:00
Rumor has it that once in 1515 in Rome, 00:00:09
as an Italian sculptor finished the sculpture of Moses, 00:00:12
he stroked the statue's knee with a hammer and said, 00:00:15
Parla! 00:00:18
He was so in awe of the perfection of his own work 00:00:20
that to be alive, it only had to speak. 00:00:22
This event really describes the personality of this sculptor, 00:00:26
who was one of the most important artists of the Renaissance era 00:00:29
and of all history, 00:00:33
Michelangelo Buonarroti. 00:00:34
He was born in Caprese near Florence in 1475 00:00:36
and was the son of a noble Florentine 00:00:40
who expected his son to grow up to be a lawyer or politician. 00:00:43
But Michelangelo was more interested in the arts, 00:00:46
so he started as an apprentice 00:00:49
at one of the most prestigious studios in Florence, 00:00:51
which belonged to Domenico Ghirlandaio. 00:00:54
As an apprentice, Michelangelo soon began to exceed his master. 00:00:57
At the age of 15, 00:01:00
he was called to be a part of Lorenzo de' Medici's court of artists. 00:01:02
Lorenzo was a great leader in the city 00:01:06
and an art enthusiast. 00:01:08
There, Michelangelo saw a great collection of antique pieces, 00:01:10
which awakened his calling to sculpture 00:01:13
and his desire to surpass the great artists from the past. 00:01:16
In Rome at the age of 23, 00:01:19
Michelangelo finished the sculpture Pietà, 00:01:21
which shows the Virgin Mary holding the dead body of Jesus Christ. 00:01:24
Michelangelo changed the proportions to make the piece lighter. 00:01:28
He sculpted Mary proportionally bigger than Jesus 00:01:31
and made her look younger, 00:01:35
even though she was over 50 years old when her son died. 00:01:36
According to Michelangelo, 00:01:41
that way he could highlight the beauty of Mary's purity. 00:01:43
He was so proud and fascinated with his own work 00:01:46
that he made it a point to carve the inscription 00:01:49
made by Michelangelo Buonarroti of Florence 00:01:52
on the sash across the statue's shoulder. 00:01:55
Back in Florence, 00:01:58
Michelangelo sculpted a giant David 00:01:59
from a piece of marble 16 feet high. 00:02:02
Because of its beauty and expressiveness, 00:02:05
it was placed by the entrance of the city hall, 00:02:07
so everyone could appreciate it. 00:02:10
For his stellar reputation, 00:02:12
Michelangelo was called by Pope Julius II 00:02:14
to go to Rome and paint the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican. 00:02:17
Michelangelo isolated himself in the chapel 00:02:21
and worked intensely from 1508 to 1512. 00:02:24
When it was done, 00:02:27
it was so widely admired that Michelangelo, 00:02:29
the greatest sculptor in the world, 00:02:31
was also acclaimed a genius painter. 00:02:33
At the age of 88, 00:02:36
Michelangelo was still producing outstanding pieces, 00:02:37
including work he conceived as an architect. 00:02:40
All of his work is as admirable 00:02:43
as the massive dome of St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican, 00:02:45
which still stands majestic 00:02:49
in the skyline of the Eternal City, Rome. 00:02:50
