MICHELANGELO

After about two years, Michelangelo went on to study at the sculpture school in the Medici
gardens and shortly thereafter was invited into the household of Lorenzo de' Medici, the
Magnificent.
Michelangelo's studies were: Painting, sculpture and Anatomy of the human body, (for this
reason, the quality of his artwork, the perfection of the body in the sculpture and
painting). Michelangelo was a very illustrated and intelligent boy, and his father always
give him unconditional support. For these reasons, Michelangelo succeed.
Michelangelo produced his first large-scale sculpture, the over-life-size Bacchus
(1496-98, Bargello, Florence). Pieta at the same time, Michelangelo also did the marble
Pieta (1498-1500), still in its original place in Saint Peter's Basilica. One of the most
famous works of art, the Pieta was probably finished before Michelangelo was 25 years
old. These two artworks of Michelangelo were the first ones and both are great works.
