(To supplement my headline "Millennium Man on a Stamp - Michelangelo")
Names recorded in Florence – Dante, Petrarch, Boccaccio, Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci, Machiavelli, Raphael, Galileo... Each one resounded across the sky.
In Florence, there was only one person closest to God: he was irritable, withdrawn and suspicious, and had no friends around him; he was "blackmailed" by several popes, he was very valuable, but he lived like a poor egg, never married; his talent was almost dazzling, he had a reverence for the stone under the carving knife, and he voluntarily attached his soul to it and talked to God.
He is Michelangelo.
Michelangelo is a sculptor, painter, architect, poet and engineer. Compared with Leonardo da Vinci's wild fantasies, he was an industrialist who dared to think and dare to do.
His art differs from leonardo da Vinci's scientific spirit and philosophical thinking, but instead pours his tragic passion into his artwork.
This tragedy is expressed in the form of grandeur and magnificence, and the hero he portrays is both a symbol of ideal and a reflection of reality. All this has made his artistic creation an insurmountable peak in the history of Western art.
The statue "David" shows the image of a young and powerful naked man, with a healthy posture, a determined look, full of muscles and vitality, highlighting David's tall image as a hero.
"David" embodies the divine beauty and great enthusiasm of the human body, thus becoming one of the most boastful male nude statues in the history of Western art.
The Bound Slave portrays a robust slave tied to a stone pillar. The author's parts outside the body are not carefully crafted, and the rough knife marks retained are like the imprints left by the suffering of the slave; the strong dynamic shape of the slave's body portrays the spirit of indomitable resistance.
Michael's huge zenith painting genesis for the Sistine Chapel in Rome is the largest zenith painting in the world. It is composed of three parts: "God Created the World", "The Fall of the World", and "Undue Sacrifice", with more than 300 characters.
Genesis is the biblical story of God's creation of man, but Michael is creating his own Almighty God, mankind.
Genesis made him the greatest painter to stand side by side with leonardo da Vinci. At the age of 37, he was revered as the "Holy Michelangelo".
Michelangelo said: O Eros! As long as I can successfully resist your madness, I will live a very happy life! alas! Now I'm in tears, all because I feel your power...
Experiencing a life of heat and turmoil has made his artistic career full of regrets, and has also made him famous in various artistic fields.
Michelangelo's work is full of passion for justice. Many of the strong, majestic artistic images he creates are full of vitality and power, but they also contain tragic overtones. This is a manifestation of Michelangelo's pursuit of freedom and liberation, and it is also a manifestation of his tragic career of inability to achieve his ideals.
He is undoubtedly one of the most inspiring and talented artists in history.
Michelangelo's masterpiece is his resistance to this bumpy fate.
Confession, not resisting fate, or human?
