  • So what if he wasn't beautiful? He was still amazing. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, and I think that his visage is very handsome in his own way. Yeah, he painted the Sistine Chapel, that's more than any of us can claim.

  • "I painted the Sistine Chapel, what have you done."

    Yeah, I can see it.

  • Socrates has an ugly face too but he is idolized by many good looking athenians, seriously I would rather want to look like an ugly brute but have imense talent than to be good looking but talentless. 

  • If Michelangelo was handsome he wouldn't have sought the same level beauty and perfection in his art.

  • I still love him and his paintings even if he is not that good looking, though. thanks for sharing..

  • Michelangelo is like the Greek god Hephaestus (or Vulcan, as he was called by the Romans). Of all the Olympian gods, he was the only one who was ugly. But Hephaestus, being the smith & artisan of the gods, created works of surpassing beauty that even his fellow gods admired him for it.

  • Raphael used Michaelangelo as one of the characters in his painting of the school of Athens as Heraclitus, away from all others because he smelled bad and had a bad attitude,

    Amazing artist!
