Michaelangelo was master of paintbrush as well as the chisel. He was a genius. DaVinci was architect, musician, scientist, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, geologist, cartographer, botanist and writer whose genius, perhaps more than that of any other figure, epitomized the Renaissance humanist ideal.

[mithrawolf]

Michelangelo is following the Greek ideal of beauty which is the masculine male nude. The scenes and characters are mostly derived from the Old Testament, but some are figures from religions outside of the Judeo-Christian traditions.

[251melabelle]

Someone needs to explain what each of these scenes depict because i am looking at them in horror! Some of them are downright gross. I am on the hunt for an explanation for some of these images and their meanings. Why do women look masculine?

@251melabelle just appreciate art done beyond human comprehension and capability, these were painted in the early 1500's, not 2011

[AckermannPhilip]

@251melabelle he was not a painter and never wanted to paint freskos. But he had to, due to the danger losing favor with the Pope. The vaticans architect played a main role. He wanted to see Michelangelo fall, so he convinced the pope, that michelangelo should do these fresco instead of the sculptures, altough someone like raphael was more experienced. He conceptualized his figures. Either the male figure was THE ideal concept for him, or he just lacked drawing skills concerning the female.

THE greatest artist of all times, very, very close followed by Leonardo....

[poplasia]

@gigimanjo I tend to think of them as equals, since they didn't really work in the same media. Leonardo was a master of the paintbrush, and Michelangelo the master of the chisel.

[ffelipemt]

This is incredible, can't wait to go visit this chapel and the whole Vatican's City next winter.....I'm speechless with this video.

O mundo é cheio de beleza e bom gosto mas por que algumas pessoas não gostam? Handel, Purcell e Michelangelo, a prova que Deus existe e é a coisa mais linda que poderemos ver, por que estas músicas e pinturas é o homem chegando perto da divindade do Criador!

[jorgecarrillo2]

Responder a este video...

Dies Irae, The day of anger, the last judgement, from Mozart requiem, quite acurate to the mural of the final judgement of Michael Angelo.

[diegriva]

@jorgecarrillo2

From Verdi requiem!

[rebeccaharper2009]

The music chosen is absolutely gorgeous; I feel it all really brings to life these paintings by Michelangelo. I just pray someday I might be able to share in these paintings splendor.

[Ecdysiast96]

I cried when I saw these paintings in person, they are so gorgeous
