Birthday of Michelangelo.

The David Statue is 5.5 meters tall and has the name “Gigant”, marking Michelangelo’s art to mature.

The great wall painting of the Romantic Church, The Last Judgment, is the masterpiece of Italian Renaissance sculptor and painter Michelangelo. The whole painting is 15 meters tall, 9 meters wide, with more than 200 different shapes of figures.

The wall painting is based on ancient religious legends. But in its performance, it is contrary to the traditional religious painting: not only those who were called from the tombs to receive the final judgment naked naked, Christ standing high in the cloud, the 12 disciples surrounding him and the Virgin Mary, and the angels whispering the horn, as well as a red thread.

Why use this form? it is because the painter has an extreme hatred of the Roman Cathedral in his heart, at the time, the abominable Roman Church, also hypocritically advocated what "the movement of virginity."Michel Cherous played the theme, removing the church's divine Christ and the robe of the Blessed Mother, thereby depicting the then Pope Paul III and the wicked priests.

After the painting was completed, the Pope looked at it with great dissatisfaction, accusing Michelangelo of committing the great sin of “blasphemy” and ordering him to erase the painting. The painter, despite the dangers of imprisonment, firmly declined: “No penny can be changed!”

Michelangelo was born on March 6, 1475. He loved painting from childhood. At the age of 13 he studied painting in a painter's room, and at the age of 15 he continued to study in the Medicean School of Art. At the age of 25, his sculptures "Bacus" and "Prayer for Christ" were completed, making him famous. In 1505, his large statue "David" was completed, making him recognized as the "greatest sculptor of the present time". He loved the sculpture throughout his life and was considered the "Head of the arts" because the sculpture gave life to the person.

Michelangelo lived to the age of 89 and did not stop his creative work for a day. In addition to painting and sculpture, he was a brilliant architect who designed the top of St. Peter's Cathedral. He was also a poet. He loved the motherland, loved freedom, and bravely opposed authoritarian politics. His immortal masterpiece, which marked the peak of Renaissance art, is a precious heritage in the treasure of human culture.

The Lamentation of Christ, also known as The Take of Jesus on the Cross, was an important sculpture of Michelangelo's late period from 1548 to 1555.

The Holy Family is an early painting by Michelangelo, written in 1504.
